Agreement signed with the digital research infrastructure EBRAINS
Karolinska Institutet has signed a collaboration agreement with the European research infrastructure EBRAINS, which offers digital tools and services for research into the brain. The purpose of this agreement is to give KI's researchers access to new digital technology and state-of-the-art resources, as well as the opportunity to contribute to the further development of the area of neuroscience within the EU.
New grant from the Swedish Research Council makes KI's brain-imaging lab NatMEG world-class
New grant from the Swedish Research Council makes KI's brain-imaging lab NatMEG world-class
The national MEG lab at Karolinska Institutet is already the only lab in Sweden with equipment to measure neuronal brain activity in real time across the entire brain. Now, a new sensor-system upgrade to its technical equipment will make the lab an international leader in the field.
Can we really predict suicide?
Can we really predict suicide?
Suicide is a global health challenge. Clinicians routinely assess suicide risk in patients but how well can we predict suicide and how can we improve the situation? Professor Seena Fazel, Oxford University, is a leading researcher of suicide risk assessment.

Findings open way for personalised MS treatment
Findings open way for personalised MS treatment
Currently available therapies to treat multiple sclerosis (MS) lack precision and can lead to serious side effects. Researchers at KI have now developed a method for identifying the immune cells involved in autoimmune diseases, and have identified four new target molecules of potential significance for future personalised treatment of MS. The results, which are published in Science Advances, have been obtained in collaboration with KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Region Stockholm.

The cover art is an illustration of how moment-to-moment brain signal variability differs across individuals. In this issue, Månsson et al. demonstrate that such individual differences in brain signal variability formed a reliable and accurate predictor of treatment success in patients with social anxiety disorder receiving cognitive behavioral therapy.
Environment and Sustainable Development at CNS
We as part of a University has a central roll in the work to combat climate change, both by contributing through teaching and research, but we also need to contribute by reducing the impact of our own activities. Here you can find tips on what changes you can do in your daily life to reduce your climate footprint.
