Researchers at Lund University have developed a technique for simultaneously measuring electrical signals from 128 areas of the brain in awake rats. They have then used the information to measure what happens to the neurons when the rats are given psychedelic drugs. The results show an unexpected and simultaneous synchronisation among neurons in several regions of the brain. In light of the develo

First they met online. Then a Lund (LU) delegation visited Stellenbosch University (SU) in South Africa. A couple of weeks ago SU came to visit LU. (And the tale goes, they rode off together into the sunset.)An eight month long Erasmus university strategic partership exchange programme between Lund and Stellenbosch, South Africa, has given the participants lots of food for thought, professional an

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Many of us have noticed the increasing frequency of climate protests organised by Extinction Rebellion (XR) across Sweden. What do these protests represent? Is this just another group of tree-huggers being a public nuisance? Or is this a needed development in taking our climate goals further? Lund University researche

Even in Earth’s high northern-latitude forest, climate change is predicted to make wildfires more frequent and severe.Earth’s far north hosts the boreal forest, a vast green belt that stretches from North America to Siberia. The boreal forest is one of the world’s largest CO₂ sinks. Over the past few thousand years it has removed around 1 trillion tonnes of carbon from the air, storing it in the t

Despite not being part of the winning team in the EU’s enormous culture and innovation push, Lund University regards itself as a clear winner. The preparatory work on the application acted like a beacon and all the faculties joined in to work together and find interdisciplinary innovation and collaboration projects. That engagement now continues. “We have unique values within art and culture, whic

During the pandemic, reports of cheating rose dramatically – by over 100 per cent. The response to this development saw the launch of the pilot project “Förebygga disciplinära förseelser” (Prevent disciplinary offences) which was intended to strengthen the capacity of learning environments to prevent cheating and produce routines and materials for the work going forward. The reason for the increas

Researchers at Lund University and DTU in Copenhagen have discovered enzymes in the colon that, when mixed with red blood cells, can cut away parts of the carbohydrates that separate our ABO blood groups from each other. The method brings us closer to the dream of a universal blood for everyone. It has long been known that blood from different individuals cannot be mixed randomly without the risk
