For hundreds of years, thinkers have tried to unravel the mystery of the brain and the ways the brain makes sense of the world. In recent decades, prominent neuroscientists have come close to solving this phenomenon and have provided crucial information about the role of the brain in complex behavior. One of them is May-Britt Moser, a Norwegian psychologist and neuroscientist known for her work on spatial orientation and spatial memory specifically and cognition more generally and a co-recipient of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. This paper aims to outline the main stages of her scientific activities.
