Abstract: At first the academic careers of 2014 Nobel Prize Winner (John M. O’Keefe, Edvard I. Moser and May-Britt Moser) are introduced briefly in this paper. In the 1970’s O’Keefe found that the neural cells in hippocampus of rat brain are sensitive to the position of the animal so named place cell. Then E. Moser and M. Moser discovered that grid cells of the rat entorhinal cortex show receptive field with regular triangle pattern. These cells may be organized in rat brain to perform navigation behavior in environment. At last, because of the complexity of brain science we point out that there are still long way to go to solve the problem of animal navigation absolutely.
