The Center for Advanced Middle Eastern Studies (CMES) at Lund University was inaugurated in 2007 to coordinate and develop education and research working on the region across various disciplines within the university. The purpose of the center is to utilize existing capacities at Lund University and create a new competence at the center to encourage and produce research and academic opportunities
The advent of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has enabled in vivo research in a variety of populations and diseases on the structure and function of hippocampal subfields and subdivisions of the parahippocampal gyrus. Because of the many extant and highly discrepant segmentation protocols, comparing results across studies is difficult. To overcome this barrier, the Hippocampal Sub
The spontaneous open-field behavioural effects of 10 days of chronic treatment with two clinical doses (10 and 20 mg/kg daily) and one high/toxic dose (100 mg/kg daily) of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor citalopram (delivered subcutaneously by implanted osmotic pumps) were examined in rats. Central and peripheral arena locomotor and rearing activities were recorded simultaneously, and t

Background: Short-culm mutants have been widely used in breeding programs to increase lodging resistance. In barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), several hundreds of short-culm mutants have been isolated over the years. The objective of thepresent study was to identify the Brachytic1 (Brh1) semi-dwarfing gene and to test its effect on yield and malting quality.Results: Double-haploid lines generated throu
Our ultimate research vision is to discover, develop and implement novel neuroprotective and neurorestorative therapies for neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, Huntingtons disease and stroke. My group works with translational research that is tightly linked to clinical research questions. Our experimental focus is to understand neurovascular disease mechanisms. We examine the dysfu
Color is the most obvious and easily determined soil property that can provide crucial information about soil composition. The NIX™ Pro color sensor (Nix) presents a user-friendly alternative to the traditional Munsell manual method, with reduced sensitivity to environmental and human factors. Therefore, a new method was developed to use Nix in combination with machine learning to quickly and affo
The joint actions of animals in partnerships or social groups evolve under both natural selection from the wider environment and social selection imposed by other members of the pair or group. We used experimental evolution to investigate how jointly expressed actions evolve upon exposure to a new environmental challenge. Our work focused on the evolution of carrion nest preparation by pairs of bu
We are investigating how sensory information is transformed into neural signals using the fruit fly and the yellow fever mosquito as a model system.
MERGE (ModElling the Regional and Global Earth system) står för modellering av jordens klimatsystem, med fokus på vegetation och terrestra ekosystem. Målet för den nationella strategiska plattformen är att öka kunskapen om klimatet med speciellt fokus på hur atmosfär, markyta, vegetation och ekosystem samverkar. Verksamheten omfattar avancerad forskning, disciplinär och tvärvetenskaplig forskarutbMERGE is a Strategic Research Area working with modelling the regional and global Climate System with focus on the interactions between the climate and the terrestrial biosphere. MERGE brings together more than 150 researchers collaborating across five Swedish universities - Lund University, Chalmers, University of Gothenburg, KTH and SMHI. The cutting-edge research environment are experts on the
Artificial Intelligence in Cardiothoracic Science was funded 2006. Traditionally, medical decisions are based on the combined strength of clinical facts and the experience of the clinician. A growing understanding of the molecular, genetic and biochemical basis of diseases have greatly increased the degree of complexity in medical decision-making. To identify risk factors in medical registers, a n
Centre for Innovation Research – CIRCLE – is an interdisciplinary centre which connects innovation researchers from different faculties at Lund University as well as other Swedish and international universities. The meaning of the term innovation has transformed and is now tightly linked to sustainable development goals including climate change, social sustainability and food security. CIRCLE’s a
