Edvard Ingjald Moser (pronounced [ˈɛ̀dvɑɖ ˈmoːsər];[surname tone?] born 27 April 1962) is a Norwegian psychologist and neuroscientist, who is a professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim.[1] In 2005, he and his then-wife May-Britt Moser discovered grid cells [2] in the brain's medial entorhinal cortex. Grid cells are specialized neurons that provide the brain with a coordinate system and a metric for space. In 2018, he discovered a neural network that expresses a person's sense of time in experiences and memories located in the brain's lateral entorhinal cortex.[3]

Edvard Moser married May-Britt Moser in 1985 when they were both students.[15] They announced that they are divorcing in 2016.[16]
His sister is the sociologist Ingunn Moser, known as the founding rector of VID University.[17]
Career
Edvard Moser was awarded the cand.psychol. degree in psychology at the Department of Psychology at the University of Oslo in 1990. He was then employed as a research fellow at the Faculty of Medicine, where he obtained his dr.philos. doctoral research degree in the field of neurophysiology in 1995.[18] He also has studied mathematics and statistics.[19] Early in his career, he worked under the supervision of Per Andersen.
Moser went on to undertake postdoctoral training with
Moser returned to Norway in 1996 to be appointed associate professor in biological psychology at the Department of Psychology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim. He was promoted to full professor of neuroscience in 1998. Moser is also head of department of the NTNU Institute for Systems Neuroscience.
He is a member of the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters,[21] Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters,[22] the American Philosophical Society,[23] and the Norwegian Academy of Technological Sciences.[24]
He is also an Honorary Professor at the Centre for Cognitive and Neural Systems at the University of Edinburgh Medical School.[20]
