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

I den mångtusenåriga isen från Grönland finns spår efter gigantiska solstormar. Geologiprofessor Raimund Muscheler gör nu en stor satsning på att kartlägga stormarna bakåt i tiden för att öka kunskapen om solens potentiellt farliga utbrott. Vår sol befinner sig just nu i en aktiv fas med ökat antal solstormar. Vid ett kraftigt sådant utbrott kan partiklarna från ­solen i värsta fall orsaka allvarl
