Tissue-friendly electrodes, developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden, are now undergoing clinical trials at Skåne University Hospital. Using 30 electrodes, each thinner than a strand of hair, the researchers aim to investigate the possibility of more precise stimulation and mapping of the brain prior to deep brain stimulation (DBS). Our movement patterns, among other things, are contr

A new international study led by Lund University examines what happened to population levels after the Kikai-Akahoya volcanic eruption in prehistoric Japan. The results, published in Science Advances, paint a more complex picture than what has previously been believed. The Kikai-Akahoya eruption took place in Japan some 7,300 years ago.  At the time, Jomon foraging communities lived in Japan, surv

Young people who experience bullying because of their weight feel that their schools do not take the problem seriously enough. In some cases, they change their own behaviour to avoid harassment, according to a new study from Lund University. The interviews reveal how weight-based bullying shapes young people's everyday lives, self-image, and relationships. At the same time, several participants fe

Tourism in disadvantaged areas can facilitate new encounters and offer a more nuanced view of places that have long been associated with crime and social issues. However, for this to happen, local residents must be involved in the development process. This is the conclusion of research from Lund University. The phenomenon of 'slum tourism' has long been debated internationally. At its worst, it ca

A new international study, led by Lund University and Nagoya University, Japan, shows that changes associated with Alzheimer’s disease may affect how rapidly ALS progresses. In time, the findings may contribute to more reliable individual prognoses and better-designed clinical trials. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a serious neurodegenerative disease in which the nerve cells that control t

A new climate centre is being established at Lund University. Researchers will investigate how society should address emissions from sectors that are difficult to fully transition to fossil-free production. The centre will receive just under SEK 50 million from Formas over four years. The emissions include those from agriculture and the cement, steel and chemical industries.“There is a widespread

Humans and chimpanzees share almost all their genes. Despite this, our brains have developed in different ways. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now shown that a viral pandemic dating back several million years is likely to be part of the explanation. Pandemics can arise wherever animal or human populations are sufficiently large, and they are not confined to the modern age. Johan Jak
