On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
During rest and sleep, the hippocampus reactivates patterns of neural activity that represent awake experiences during brief bursts of highly synchronized activity. This process is thought to play a critical role in memory consolidation by transferring the reactivated patterns to downstream brain regions. However, it remains unclear how the hippocampus ensures that these patterns are effectively transmitted while retaining the structure of the original experiences they represent. In this presentation, I will argue that hippocampal circuits are organized to efficiently and reliably output patterns of reactivated activity through a motif we term “anatomical convergence”. We revealed the presence of this motif using anatomical tracing of individual subiculum neurons and their presynaptic partners in CA1, combined with in vivo optical recordings in mice performing a spatial navigation task.
