Center for Systems Neurobiology at Linköping University is organizing a retreat on 15th to 16th of May, 2025.

Through functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) this project gathers information about the boundaries between the self and others and compares the outcome of the reactions of neurotypical volunteers with participants with a psychiatric disorder

Our research group addresses nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) which is a significant mental health issue in adolescents and linked with impairments in emotion regulation. We are dedicated to developing novel approaches for preventing and treating...

Pain in the ultrafast lane. We are interested in better understanding the peripheral nervous system’s role in acute and persistent pain using microneurography.

We investigate how the experience of “self” is generated by the brain and body – and what happens if self-other-distinction is altered in psychiatric conditions or through experimental interventions.

Vill du delta i en studie om hungerhormonet ghrelins effekter på beteendemekanismer och beslutsfattande? Vi söker friska vuxna (18-65 år) för deltagande.

Human touch is a powerful way of evoking emotions. What is the functional significance of the system for ultrafast nociceptors that we recently discovered? How does the nervous system distinguish social and self-touch? Our lab is looking for answers.

At the Engblom Lab, we investigate the mechanisms and circuits underpinning the aversive affective states and the depressive symptoms accompanying inflammatory diseases and major depression.

Can a garment made from smart textiles relieve long-term pain? This is what researchers in neuroscience, materials science, pain research, textile science and biomechanics are seeking to find out in a new interdisciplinary research project.

Two types of neurons in the skin may be particularly important for how the brain interprets social contact between people. Knowledge of how the nervous system processes social touch is important in order to develop ways to restore sensation.
