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
Large neuroimaging efforts in human populations have potentiated discoveries about the brain and its disorders. Yet, preclinical research in animal models remains a central experimental tool to establish causal mechanisms behind these discoveries. Functional imaging experiments in rodents are marked by large qualitative differences, despite using similar imaging systems and animals with common genetical backgrounds. In this talk, I will present the advances in our multi-center collaborative projects to improve and standardize functional imaging in rodents.
