Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
The locus coeruleus (LC), the brain’s principal noradrenergic nucleus, is among the first regions to show tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Its widespread projections regulate arousal, attention, sleep–wake dynamics, often disrupted early in the disease. This seminar will explore recent evidence on the degeneration of the LC across the Alzheimer’s disease continuum, integrating post-mortem, neuroimaging, and cerebrospinal fluid biomarker data. I will discuss how LC dysfunction contributes to cognitive, neuropsychiatric, and sleep alterations in AD, and how targeting this system may open novel diagnostic and therapeutic avenues.
