Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
We know that both the cerebellum and sleep are implicated in learning new procedural skills, yet the sleeping cerebellum has been largely overlooked by neuroscience. Using wireless recording in unrestrained non-human primates, we are investigating cerebellar activity and cerebro-cerebellar communication during natural sleep. We observe many of the neocortical hallmarks of sleep also evident in the cerebellum and, surprisingly, communication at spindle frequencies directed from the cerebellum to the neocortex. I will interpret these data in the context of a hypothesis of how internal models in the cerebellum might play a role in sleep-dependent motor learning.
