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.

From Energy Balance to Immune Balance: A Systems-Level View of Metabolic-Sensing Circuits and Immune Crosstalk
In-person only
Neural circuits that regulate energy balance also influence immune readiness, shaping inflammatory tone across the body. This talk will explore emerging systems-level principles linking metabolic sensing brain circuits to innate immune function, and discuss how central representations of internal state tune immunity in anticipation of energetic needs. The implications of this brain–immune coupling for physiological adaptation and inflammatory disease will be considered.
