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
Why is studying sex differences in brain and behaviour important for mental health? I hope to answer this question by guiding you through typical sex differences in brain development, possible mechanisms behind the development of sex differences in the brain and how these findings may impact the way we approach studying mental health conditions. The latter part of the talk will focus on how this links in with autism spectrum research.
Dr Amber Ruigrok is a Binks Autism Neuroscience Research Fellow from the Autism Research Centre, Cambridge
