John O’Keefe is a Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at UCL and he received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2014 for his “discoveries of cells that constitute a positioning system in the brain". His revolutionary research on hippocampal place cells provided deeper insight into the neural processes underlying the sense of space. His lab in Sainsbury Wellcome Centre applies a wide range of methods to facilitate our understanding of the role of the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus in spatial memory and the neural mechanisms underlying short-term memories in the amygdala.
