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
CorTalk 8: David Dupret - Rhythms of Memory: from Rodents to Humans
Memory shapes everyday behaviour by engaging complex patterns of neuronal activity distributed across brain networks, including the hippocampus. But what features of neural activity underlie memory-guided behaviour? In this talk, I will explore how spatio-temporally organized spike trains of neuronal ensembles and rhythmic fluctuations in local field potentials contribute to the internal processing of mnemonic information. Drawing on cross-species findings, I will highlight network-level dynamics that support memory across both rodent and human brains. Importantly, I will show how organizational principles and analytical frameworks developed in rodent models are now being leveraged to uncover the oscillatory circuitry underlying human memory. These insights reveal how fine-grained neural dynamics, distributed across the hippocampus and its partner circuits, orchestrate memory-guided behaviour in the mammalian brain.
