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.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Prefrontal and anterior cingulate cortex is important in learning and decision making but it does not carry out these roles in isolation but as a result of interactions with other subcortical and cortical brain regions. In order to elucidate the mechanisms of learning and decision making it is necessary not just to record activity in these areas but to examine the impact of manipulating activity on behaviour and the impact of manipulating activity in one area on the activity recorded elsewhere in the circuit. Such studies have begun to construct a picture of the interactions between prefrontal and cingulate brain regions and areas such as the basal forebrain, amygdala, and hippocampus that are central to learning and decision making.
