北京时间10月6日下午17:30,2014年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖揭晓,科学家John O'Keefe 、May-Britt Moser、Edvard I. Mosel 因发现组成大脑定位系统(GPS)的特殊细胞的研究成果获得此奖项。 本文中小编整理了三位诺奖获得者近年来的一些亮点研究论文,希望大家通过学习可以对三位科学家的研究领域及大脑GPS有更为深入的了解。 首先是科学家约翰·O·基夫教授(John O'Keefe) 1939年他出生于美国纽约,同时拥有美国和英国双重国籍;1967年他于麦吉尔大学获得生理心理学博士学位,随后在英国伦敦大学攻读博士后并任职于伦敦大学,1987年John O'Keefe教授被授予认知神经学教授,目前John O'Keefe教授是英国伦敦大学神经回路和行为塞恩斯伯里康中心(Sainsbury Wellcome Centre)的负责人。 John O'Keefe教授的实验室主页 John O'Keefe近年来的亮点研究一览: 【1】Novelty and Anxiolytic Drugs Dissociate Two Components of Hippocampal Theta in Behaving Rats The Journal of Neuroscience,15 May 2013,33(20):8650-8667; doi:10.1523/JNEUROSCI.5040-12.2013 【2】How environment geometry affects grid cell symmetry and what we can learn from it Phil.
