Liset de la Prida

Liset de la Prida is a prominent Spanish neuroscientist known for her groundbreaking research on the neural mechanisms underlying spatial navigation and memory. As the head of a research group at the Cajal Neuroscience Center (CNC-CSIC) in Spain, her work has significantly advanced our understanding of how the brain constructs sophisticated spatial maps, vital for orientation and memory. Her recent studies have expanded upon the foundational discoveries made by Nobel laureates May-Britt and Edvard Moser and Jhon O'Keefe, shedding light on the roles of different types of neurons in the hippocampus.
