OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The secret side of SICI

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!
