OxTalks is Changing
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
Is the cerebellum involved in sleep-dependent learning?
To join this seminar online, please see https://sharepoint.nexus.ox.ac.uk/sites/NDCN/FMRIB/SitePages/WINWednesdaySeminar.aspx
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.
