  Dr. May-Britt Moser ML, Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience, Trondhei
 m (Norway)\n\nThe hippocampus is a seahorse-shaped brain structure that is 
 necessary for encoding memories about our daily lives. In her lecture, May-
 Britt Moser will show what type of information the hippocampus receives to 
 generate such memories. Memories for episodes include information about whe
 re the event happened, when it happened, and what happened. Brain structure
 s are feeding the hippocampus with this information – information about spa
 ce, about time, and about content. There are specialized cells that signal 
 where the animal is (place cells), which direction the animal is moving (he
 ad direction cells), cells that signal the layout of the environment (grid 
 cells), and cells signaling the speed of the animal (speed cells). Other ce
 lls signal objects and the spatial relationship between the object and the 
 animal. Finally, Moser will show how groups of cells are tagging events wit
 h a time signal so that similar episodes can be separated in time. Thus, th
 e hippocampus receives the necessary information from specialized brain cel
 ls to create memories about events. \n\nProf. Dr. May-Britt Moser MLMay-Bri
 tt Moser is Professor of Neuroscience since 2002, Scientific Co-Director of
  the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience and Director of the Centre fo
 r Neural Computation at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology 
 in Trondheim. She is interested in the neural basis of cognitive functions.
  Together with her colleague, Edvard Moser, she discovered grid cells and o
 ther functional cell types in the entorhinal cortex, including head directi
 on cells, border cells, speed cells and object-vector cells, and mechanisms
  for representation of episodic time – suggesting that the entorhinal corte
 x can function as a hub for the brain network for representation of space a
 nd episodic memory. Moser received her initial training at the University o
 f Oslo, supervised by Dr. Per Andersen, on the structural basis of hippocam
 pal memory. She has received numerous international awards. Together with E
 dvard Moser and John O’Keefe, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology
  or Medicine in 2014.\n\nML – Mitglied der LeopoldinaFoto: Prof. Dr. May-Br
