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.
Dr Mark Howe is Assistant Professor at the Dept of Psychological and Brain Sciences, Boston University. His laboratory aims to understand how neural dynamics in the basal ganglia contribute to motivating, selecting, and learning adaptive actions and how these dynamics become compromised in disorders such as Parkinson’s Disease. They employ a range of in-vivo optical approaches in mouse models to investigate cell type and neurotransmitter specific signals on multiple spatial and temporal scales during behavior. Dr Howe’s talk will describe evidence for spatiotemporal variations in sub-second dopaminergic and cholinergic signals in striatum which may mediate distinct functions in movement control and learning.
