Interestingly, the married couple and co-awardees May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser have trained at O\u2019Keefe\u2019s laboratory in London.

They provided evidence of brain cells that help us map the space around us and then helps us navigate as we move around. The place cells are nerve cells in the hippocampus that become active when an animal tries to map its environment. The grid cells, on the other hand, are located in the entorhinal cortex of the brain &#8211; a region connected to the hippocampus &#8211; and create mental maps. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Thus, the Nobel laureates discovered an &#8220;inner GPS&#8221; system in the brain and have resolved the mystery about how we know where we are.
