During Michaelmas Term, OxTalks will be moving to a new platform (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
For now, continue using the current page and event submission process (freeze period dates to be advised).
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
SICI (short-interval intracortical inhibition) is thought to be caused by low intensity stimulation of non-directionally sensitive GABAergic interneurons in motor cortex. I will show some recent experiments that indicate this is not true. In fact, different directions of SICI activate independent sets of inhibitory connections that interact differently with other forms of cortical inhibition (SAI, CBI). And if Covid had not intervened I might even have been able to say whether they are differentially recruited by different behaviours!
