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
In vivo Magnetic Resonance has revolutionised clinical imaging and given us amazing insights into the large-scale activity and connectivity of the brain. All off this has been achieved by imaging a single molecule, water. In this talk we instead look at how MRI Scanners can be used to image other small metabolites, whether they be neurotransmitters, energy substrates, or markers of cell generation or degradation. We will see how this technology works, what can be imaged, and at what scales and resolutions of imaging. We will then look at how despite being an apparently direct, quantitative, non-invasive measurement technique, validation and interpretation remains a key problem. Finally, we will see how we can make in vivo MR more specific.
