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
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.
