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
Mammalian sleep and wake follows a complex daily pattern influenced by both a circadian clock controlling vigilance according to time of day, and a sleep homeostat controlling vigilance according to prior wake history. In this lecture, we shall consider mechanisms underlying both central and local control of these processes, and how they in turn intimately control global metabolism.
