Using very thin electrodes to measure nerve impulses in the cells of rats' brains May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser succeeded in mapping the brain’s navigation system.
May-Britt Moser och Edvard Moser donated the electrodes and the toy rat to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2014.
May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser explored how rats navigate by letting them move around in this box. By registering a rat’s position and the impulses in different cells in its brain, they succeeded in mapping the brain’s navigation system.
May-Britt Moser och Edvard Moser donated the box to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2014.
May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser used this electronic equipment to simultaneously register a rat’s position and the nerve impulses in the cells of the rat’s brain. The experiments aimed to understand how humans and animals find their way.
May-Britt Moser och Edvard Moser donated the laboratory equipment to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2014.
