Nobel Prize in Medicine is Awarded for Discovery of Brain’s ‘Inner GPS’
 

Unclear from the article what if any impact this will have on TBI/PCS research in the short term but I think it's encouraging whenever the importance of brain research is given positive media coverage.

"The laureates’ findings may eventually lead to a better understanding of the spatial losses that occur in Alzheimer’s and other neurological diseases. The hippocampus and entorhinal cortex are often damaged in early stages of Alzheimer’s, with affected individuals’ losing their way and failing to recognize the environment. The findings also open new avenues for understanding cognitive processes like memory, thinking and planning, the Nobel Committee said."

It just go to show that the brain is so mich more complicated than previously thought. Great news!

I'm proud to say that John O'Keefe, one of the researchers, went to my high school!

I am fearful that I will be slightly brain damaged the rest of my life

I was slightly brain damaged two injuries ago. Don't sweat it :)

Queens, NY? What high school?

Regis High School in Manhattan

Regis?? We used to play you in football 30 years ago. Monsignor Farrell from Staten Island. :)
