Edvard I. Moser: Neural computation of space and time | 30. Hermann Staudinger Lecture | 12.12.2023

At the 30th Hermann Staudinger Lecture Edvard I. Moser (Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine 2014) discusses recent advances in our understanding of the brain´s mechanisms for tracking space and time, brain functions that are generated not merely by integration of sensory inputs but rather by internal dynamics of the cortex. Moser looks back to the beginnings of brain research, with a particular focus on research into the hippocampus and the medial entorhinal cortex and gives new insights into current reserach that is conducted at Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience (NTNU) in Trondheim, which was founded by Edvard Moser and May-Britt Moser. The Hermann Staudinger Lectures are a series of talks initiated by the School of Soft Matter Research in 2008. FRIAS invites international Nobel laureates to give a lecture in Freiburg two to three times a year. The lecture series is named after Nobel Laureate Hermann Staudinger who taught at the University of Freiburg from 1926–1951 and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1953.
