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
WIN Wednesday Seminar, Sleep for semantic-like memory
To join this seminar online, please see https://sharepoint.nexus.ox.ac.uk/sites/NDCN/FMRIB/SitePages/WIN%20Wednesday%20Meeting%20Details.aspx
Adapting to environmental changes is critical for our survival. The brain’s ability to build up knowledge about the world that enables us to benefit from our previous experience has been a long-standing, central topic in psychology and neuroscience. However, research into the neurobiology underlying knowledge build-up and updating is now just beginning. In my lab we develop new rodent tasks to tap into how animals build-up knowledge such as the Object Space Task and the HexMaze. We also use one session learning tasks such as the watermaze to do translational projects in humans and rodents. We combine these tasks with electrophysiology, pharmacology, fMRI and immediate early gene expression analysis to investigate how sleep contributes to memory consolidation.
