The 2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded with one half to John O'Keefe and the other half jointly to May-Britt Moser and Edvard I. Moser "for their discoveries of cells that constitute a positioning system in the brain". Their research helps better understand how people orient themselves.

Medicine is traditionally the first of the Nobel prizes awarded each year. It will be followed in the coming days by announcements for prizes in Chemistry, Physics, Literature, Peace and Economics.
