ANSWER: All of the above
 
3 British scientists, Tim Bliss, Graham Collingridge and Richard Morris, on 1 March 2016 won the Greta Lundbeck European Research prize award for their seminal work on understanding what happens in the brain when humans make and lose memories. The Brain Prize (as it is also called) has been won entirely by a UK team for the first time. Researchers studied neurons in the hippocampus, the brain's learning portal that enables humans to store information, and recollect it. For their seminal work in memory specifically in the field of long term potentiation, they won the award.
