The University of Agder has secured funding for 30 places in psychology, thereby fulfilling the region's long-held wish for a psychology programme in Kristiansand.

"Unique research will happen here, and we're expecting big things," said Nobel laureate Edvard Moser, who formally opened UiA's new neuroscience lab today.

Brain researchers hope that the sense of smell can reveal more about how the brain organises information.

Do you get flashbacks of Christmas memories from the past when you smell the scent of clementines, mulled wine or gingerbread? This is not a coincidence. 

The new brain researchers at the University of Agder have worked closely with Nobel Prize winners May-Britt and Edvard Moser. The couple has roots in Kristiansand.

Research couple Hanne and Tor Stensola from Kristiansand return home to establish neuroscience as a new academic field at UiA. The initiative has received 26.5 MNOK in funding from regional partners and will strengthen UiA's expertise in psychology.
