OxTalks is Changing
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.
How do Dopaminergic Agonist Drugs Work in Depression
There are lots of treatments for depression, but none of them work as well as we would like. This has prompted an interest in other approaches to treatment that might be useful. One candidate pharmacological treatment is dopamine agonist medications (such as pramipexole). In this talk I will describe a study that has investigated how these agents might work in depression. This study uses computational modelling and neuroimaging. I will try my best to convince the audience that, rather than just being bafflingly complex techniques completely divorced from clinical reality, these techniques can actually tell us something interesting about treatment mechanisms in psychiatry.
