Abstract No less than 17 Nobel Prizes have been awarded the area of neurosocience and no less than 40 laureates. The first prize was given to Camillo Golgi and Ramón y Cajal in 1906 and the last one so far, to John O’Keefe and May-Britt and Edvard I. Moser in 2014.
This presentation of the laureates will not follow the time sequence of the prizes. Instead, I have grouped them in different categories.
