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
Neuronal properties must allow for complex computation, but energy availability is limited. How does the brain balance these competing constraints, and could sleep play a role in managing the energy efficiency of neuronal signalling on a daily basis? I will discuss past work and future plans for my new lab, working towards an understanding of how sleep alters neural circuitry to achieve computational and energetic changes that are crucial for survival.
