Forskare vid Lunds universitet har, i samarbete med italienska forskare, efter en serie studier visat att inte bara en del utan de flesta delarna av hjärnan kan engageras när vi hanterar de signaler som uppstår vid beröring. Resultaten öppnar för en ny syn på hur hjärnans nätverk av nervceller behandlar information, och därmed hur hjärnan fungerar. Forskarna har i flera studier gjort djupgående an
