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
The brain is very sensitive to blood flow disruption, with abnormal flow patterns present in a wide range of neurovascular diseases, neurodegenerative conditions and lesions, such as tumours. Conventional methods to map brain blood flow, both through the arteries (angiography) and at the tissue level (perfusion), are often invasive and require ionising radiation, limiting their use in paediatrics, longitudinal imaging and research. In this talk I will describe recent developments in a non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging technique, arterial spin labelling, including vessel-selective blood flow mapping, simultaneous angiography and perfusion imaging and functional imaging, with some example applications in basic neuroscience and clinical research, including acute stroke, arteriovenous malformation, tonic pain and population neuroimaging.
