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
Entrapment neuropathies are caused by compression or irritation of nerves as they travel through narrow anatomical spaces. Common conditions include carpal tunnel syndrome and sciatica. Entrapment neuropathies represent the most common nerve injury and cause for nerve-related (neuropathic) pain. For science, entrapment neuropathy is also a unique model system as we can have access to injured human nerves in the context of neuropathic pain. In this talk, I will highlight how studying people with entrapment neuropathies in detail has helped us advance our understanding of mechanisms involved in nerve injury and neuropathic pain.
