Our memory records details and detects patterns in everyday life - often without us even realising it. Researchers at Lund University have for the first time succeeded in showing that the brain does both these things simultaneously in real time. To investigate this, everyday situations from the computer game The Sims were used to understand how we process information in real life. We rely on our m

3D-mammography reduces the number of breast cancer cases diagnosed in the period between routine screenings, when compared with traditional mammography, according to a large study from Lund University in Sweden. The results are published in the journal Radiology. “Our results indicate that 3D-mammography, or digital breast tomosynthesis, possibly detects cancers that would otherwise have been diag

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. After a series of studies, researchers at Lund University in Sweden, together with colleagues in Italy, have shown that not only one part, but most parts of the brain can be involved in processing the signals that arise from touch. The results open the way for a new approach to how the brain’s network of neurons proce

What are opinions, what are facts and what are outright lies? The latest PISA assessment clearly shows that children and young adults have difficulties navigating the fast flow of information in society today. When anyone at all can make their voice heard it also becomes more difficult to recognise misleading information and fake news. Together, actors, performing arts teachers and researchers are

That eating plenty of vegetables, wholegrains and legumes is beneficial for health is well known. More surprising, however, is that people who eat in a environmentally-friendly way also display nutritional values that are better than researchers had expected. This is shown in a new study from Lund University. The EAT–Lancet diet is a global dietary guideline developed to promote both human health

När det kungliga danska flaggskeppet Gribshunden sjönk i Blekinge skärgård vid slutet av 1400-talet, tog det med sig mängder av tidsdokument i sin grav. Med hjälp av medicinsk skiktröntgen – datortomografi – har Historiska museets numismatiker Gitte Ingvardson och arkeologen Brendan Foley lyckats undersöka fynden närmare. Gribshunden anses vara världens bäst bevarade fartyg av den typ som självast

Is it possible to improve the antibodies that the body produces to fight SARS-CoV2? In a study led by researchers from Lund University in Sweden, this was investigated by redesigning antibodies and combining them against the virus. The modified antibodies have been tested in human cells and with mice. Many antibodies used to treat covid infection during the pandemic have been so-called neutralizin
