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.
Flexible reprogramming of sensory cortex: Why listening matters in the brain
Animals adapt their behaviour in response to variable changes in reward reinforcement. Value-based decision-making involves multiple cognitive maps across distributed brain areas. It is less clear which brain regions are essential and how changes in neural responses flexibly re-maps guiding adaptive behaviour. In this talk, I will highlight behavioural-neural interactions between frontal and sensory circuits that implement flexible decision-making. I will present further evidence of how some of these functions are disrupted in autism spectrum disorders, arguing for a new conceptual framework based on computational psychiatry to understand cognitive pathophysiology in neurological disorders.
