Kathleen Wets, Publisher for F1000, today visited F1000 Faculty Member Hugo Spiers at the Institute of Behavioural Neuroscience, UCL, London, and video-recorded him talking about his research into spatial cognition.

Spiers used to work in Nobel Prize winner John O’Keefe’s lab, and his research on spatial memory, cognition and how we navigate through space follows up on a lot of the issues that arose from O’Keefe’s seminal work.

On Monday, John O’Keefe won the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine jointly with another F1000 Faculty Member, Edvard Moser. Do read Hugo Spiers’ feature in the UK Guardian newspaper, on the implications of O’Keefe’s work – an interesting read.
