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.
Cognitive performance relies on the entrainment of neuronal networks in oscillatory patterns of electrical activity, as exemplified in the case of functional interplay between the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. Coupling of neuronal networks in oscillatory rhythms emerges early during development. However, the contribution of coordinated activity for the maturation of neuronal networks remains largely unknown. The talk will introduce the mechanisms controlling the development of structural and functional coupling within prefrontal-hippocampal networks of rodents. Moreover, the dysfunction within hippocampal-prefrontal networks, switching from neonatal hypo- to juvenile hyper-coupling, will be characterized as a possible mechanism underlying the pathophysiology of cognitive deficits in neuropsychiatric disorders.
