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
Tract-tracing studies in non-human primates indicate that different subregions of the medial temporal lobe (MTL) are connected with multiple brain regions. However, no clear framework defining the distributed anatomy associated with the human MTL exists. This gap in knowledge originates in notoriously low MRI data quality in the anterior human MTL and in group-level blurring of idiosyncratic anatomy between adjacent brain regions comprising the MTL. To overcome these challenges, we intensively scanned four human individuals and collected whole-brain data with unprecedented MTL signal quality that allowed us to explore in detail the cortical networks associated with MTL subregions within each individual. In this talk, I will present these recent results and discuss their implications on examining the evolutionary trajectory of the MTL connectivity across species.
