Find Navigation System Brain, Researchers Couple's getting the Nobel Health

The pair of researchers from Norway and a professor of English descent-Americans were awarded the Nobel health. The award was given for services they were doing research on the brain and led to the discovery of the navigation system of the brain. The award was presented to Prof. John O'Keefe, Edvard and May-Britt Moster Moster for his services to do research to find an explanation of how the brain makes a map or maps in a very complex environment. The award was made ​​on Monday (6/10) yesterday evening, and held at the Karolinska Institute, Sweden. "The discovery made ​​by a third researcher makes us understand that in the brain, there are certain parts that become our navigation system. So we know where we are and where we are going," said Professor Ole Kiehn, Nobel committee member of Health as well Professor at Karolinska University. Prof John O'Keefe, Director, Center for Neural Circuits and Behavior in the University College London, was first discovered brain navigation system in 1971 if it, part of the brain called the hippocampus is always active when rats were used as experimental materials are in place certain familiar. Meanwhile, Edvard and May-Britt is a pair of researchers from Trondheim, Norway. They work closely with Prof O'Keefe to record any activity that occurs in the brain's hippocampus. Their research also led to the discovery of part of the brain that regulates the navigation system. The section called Grid Cells, located in the entorhinal cortex of the brain and continually work to create a map based on what we see around. These same parts of the brain to tell where we are, have ever been to where and to where we are going. May-Britt admitted directly to dance and drink champagne when given the news that he will win the Nobel prize of Health. Even in the Norwegian television show, seen co-workers dancing and singing "Happy Nobel For You" with a rhythm like "Happy Birthday." For health and medical information, visit UKDI.net
