OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Ensemble Coding in Amygdala Circuits
Classical fear conditioning is one of the most powerful models for studying the neuronal substrates of associative learning and for investigating how plasticity in defined neuronal circuits causes behavioral changes. In my talk, I will focus on the organization and function of the neuronal circuitry of fear. I will discuss how functionally, anatomically, and genetically defined types of amygdala neuron are precisely connected within the local circuitry and within larger-scale neuronal networks, and how they contribute to the acquisition and expression of conditioned fear behavior.
