OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
