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
The hippocampus and memory: the right amount of disorder for the curious mind
Decades of research have elucidated the role of the mammalian hippocampus in spatial memory, particularly by focusing on small laboratory animals like rats, mice and bats alongside human and non-human primates. Yet, just when a mechanistic understanding seemed to coalesce into a “standard model”, experiments in semi-ecological conditions are revealing new implications of disorder and self-organization, requiring novel analyses of neural computation.
