OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
One of the most fascinating developments over the past years has been the recognition that the cerebellum is not just involved in motor control and motor learning but that it is engaged in almost all neurological functions including cognitive, emotional and social-psychological functions. This range of functions is reflected by the many diseases that are linked to dysfunction of these cerebellar domains. Mounting evidence suggests a role for the cerebellum in autism. However, the molecular mechanisms linking cerebellar function to autism remain incompletely understood. I will present work from our group that investigates the role of autism genes in the development and function of the cerebellum by integrating experimental developmental neurobiology and computational analyses.
Please register in advance for each seminar. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. If you could share with anyone who might be interested in your research groups / departments that would be great. Contact catherine.manning@psy.ox.ac.uk for any questions or suggestions for future speakers.
