On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
ABSTRACT
I will cover the circumstances that led to the discovery of the syndrome of Developmental Amnesia (DA) and describe brain and behavioural phenotypes of the disorder with implications for an intervention that could improve the profound deficit in delayed recall. I will then describe a DA case with temporal lobe epilepsy and bilateral Stereo EEG for memory mapping to guide surgical decision making.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
After completing my post-doctoral training at the Montreal Children’s Hospital/Department of Neurology & Neurosurgery at McGill University, I moved to London in 1983. With the support of MRC, I took up a clinical-academic lectureship at the UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health to develop the Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Unit/Department, and its clinical counterpart, the Neuropsychology Specialty Service at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children. My research has focused in the following areas: (a) Developmental amnesia and the structure and function of hippocampal-dependent memory circuits after early brain injury; (b) Motor speech and language disorders resulting from mutation of FOXP2 gene; and© Brain plasticity and reorganisation of cognitive and sensorimotor function in children undergoing epilepsy surgery.
