Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Hippocampus
  • Artificial intelligence

His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Hippocampus, Hippocampal formation, Entorhinal cortex and Brain mapping. His studies deal with areas such as Neuronal memory allocation and Homosynaptic plasticity as well as Neuroscience. His Hippocampus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Neocortex, Space perception, Sensory system and Neuron.

His Hippocampal formation study incorporates themes from Ibotenic acid, Dorsum, Electrophysiology and Bioinformatics. His Entorhinal cortex study combines topics in areas such as Place cell, Head direction cells, Representation, Path integration and Grid. Edvard I. Moser combines subjects such as Recognition memory, Nerve net and Recall with his study of Brain mapping.

His most cited work include:

  • Microstructure of a spatial map in the entorhinal cortex (2498 citations)
  • Path integration and the neural basis of the 'cognitive map' (1335 citations)
  • Pattern separation in the dentate gyrus and CA3 of the hippocampus. (1164 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Hippocampus, Hippocampal formation, Entorhinal cortex and Grid cell. Neuroscience is frequently linked to Head direction cells in his study. Within one scientific family, Edvard I. Moser focuses on topics pertaining to Sensory system under Hippocampus, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Cortex.

His study explores the link between Hippocampal formation and topics such as Brain mapping that cross with problems in Nerve net. The various areas that Edvard I. Moser examines in his Entorhinal cortex study include Representation, Cognitive science, Cell type and Bioinformatics. His Grid cell research incorporates themes from Grid pattern and Neurophysiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (74.71%)
  • Hippocampus (54.71%)
  • Hippocampal formation (48.24%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (74.71%)
  • Hippocampus (54.71%)
  • Medial entorhinal cortex (12.94%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Hippocampus, Medial entorhinal cortex, Grid cell and Hippocampal formation. His research on Neuroscience often connects related topics like Head direction cells. His work carried out in the field of Hippocampus brings together such families of science as Mathematical analysis and Cortex.

His Medial entorhinal cortex study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Pattern recognition and Encoding, Artificial intelligence. The concepts of his Grid cell study are interwoven with issues in Grid pattern and Path integration. His Hippocampal formation research focuses on Entorhinal cortex in particular.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Integrating time from experience in the lateral entorhinal cortex (159 citations)
  • Navigating cognition: Spatial codes for human thinking (158 citations)
  • Object-vector coding in the medial entorhinal cortex (66 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Neuroscience
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Hippocampus

Edvard I. Moser focuses on Neuroscience, Hippocampal formation, Grid, Hippocampus and Entorhinal cortex. His research in the fields of Space perception overlaps with other disciplines such as Reference frame. His Hippocampal formation research includes elements of Space, Cognition and Brain mapping.

His research investigates the connection between Grid and topics such as Representation that intersect with issues in Pattern recognition, Correlation, Head direction cells, Attractor network and Topology. His work on Medial entorhinal cortex as part of his general Hippocampus study is frequently connected to Coupling, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. Edvard I. Moser focuses mostly in the field of Entorhinal cortex, narrowing it down to topics relating to Place cell and, in certain cases, Optogenetics.
