Forskare vid Lunds universitet har utvecklat en teknik för att mäta elektriska signaler från 128 hjärnområden samtidigt hos vakna råttor. Den har de sedan använt för att mäta vad som händer med nervcellerna när råttorna får psykedeliska droger. Resultaten visar på en oväntad och samtidig synkronisering bland nervcellerna i flera områden i hjärnan. Idén om att elektriska svängningar, oscillationer,

How do you spark curiosity about science in classrooms and workplaces? One answer is Borrow a Researcher — a national outreach initiative that makes it easy for schools, non-profit organisations, and workplaces to meet active researchers. Twice a year, participants can book a researcher for a visit, either on site or online, to learn about research topics or what it is like to work as a scientist.

Feeling unmotivated to carve another jack-o’-lantern out of a slimy pumpkin? As luck would have it, at least you don’t have to struggle with a rock-hard turnip. The pumpkin’s status as the main symbol of Halloween is actually somewhat of an historical coincidence. Ethnologist Katarzyna Herd explains why. Two-hundred tonnes. According to SVT Nyheter, this is how much pumpkin was transported from Le

In March 2015, a valuable globe of Mars was stolen from the Astronomy Library. After disappearing without a trace for almost a decade, it suddenly turned up at an antique dealer in Stockholm. The astronomical treasure has finally been returned to Lund. Astronomers have been using globes to visualise moons and planets ever since the 18th century. As telescopes improved in the late 19th century, int

The idea of publishing research findings in open access journals is in many ways an asset in the research community. Unfortunately, it has also entailed the emergence of many unprofessional agents on the market. Their only purpose is to trick researchers into giving them money. Not only does a successful researcher need to produce good research, their findings must also be visible among tough comp
