我们的大脑是如何感知空间方位的?它又是如何引导我们回家的?什么时候该转弯?什么时候该停下来?虽然这些问题时时刻刻都在发生着,但也许你从来都没有注意到或是问过自己这些问题。随着2014年诺贝尔医学或生理学奖授予了O’Keefe和Moser夫妇关于空间认知方面的研究工作,这些问题也引起了当下大众的兴趣。笔者顺水推舟,为大家解读一下今年获得诺奖的主要工作和贡献。空间认知领域的开辟1971年,John O’Keefe和Dostrovsky的一篇文 How does our brain perceive spatial orientation? How does it lead us home? When does the turn? When should it stop? Although these problems are happening all the time, you may have never noticed Or ask yourself these questions. With the 2014 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine awarded to O’Keefe and Moser for their work on spatial cognition, these issues have also drawn the public’s interest. I follow the boat, for everyone to interpret this year’s Nobel Prize for the main work and contribution. An Area in Spatial Cognition Opened in 1971 by John O’Keefe and Dostrovsky
