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
Towards a network-based understanding of Parkinson's disease symptoms and therapies
A sandwich lunch will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
Parkinson’s disease is a common neurological condition which results in progressive and incurable motor and non-motor impairments. The considerable heterogeneity in the presentation and progression of PD remains poorly understood. I will present data adopting a multimodal (empirical and theoretical) approach, to provide insights into the network mechanisms of specific PD phenotypes. I will focus on how this approach can be used to understand and to predict cortico-subcortical interactions leading to movement impairments, cognitive impairments and impairments of motivation – all of which characterise the parkinsonian state. Finally, I will discuss how these insights may be used to inform the next generation of neuromodulation therapies.
