SUMMARY:The Past is Not Past: Incorporating Historical Context into Psychological Therapy with People from Minoritised Ethnicities
DESCRIPTION:Historical context is a key factor in psychological therapy with people from minoritised ethnicities. The ongoing effects of historical experiences of discrimination and self-empowerment continue to shape the lived experiences of people from minority ethnic communities and influence their interactions with psychological therapy and healthcare systems in general today. However\, historical context remains underexplored in the academic mental health literature. \nThis webinar will explore why and how historical context should be incorporated into psychological therapy with people from minoritised ethnicities. It will have a focus on cognitive behavioural therapy and will\, in addition to a theoretical conceptualisation\, suggest practical steps attendees can take to include historical context in their work. The histories of minority ethnic communities are also relevant in healthcare services in general\, so there will be some discussion of how these historical legacies might be addressed across the healthcare system. \nMore information and registration.

SUMMARY:Artificial intelligence for electronic health records
DESCRIPTION:Open to members of the University of Oxford only. \nThis talk by Dr. Shishir Rao explores how artificial intelligence (AI) on routinely collected electronic health records (EHR) data can transform healthcare research. The talk will focus on development and application of Transformer-based models for handling rich\, multitype EHR\, leveraging AI for prediction for early intervention\, accelerating disease understanding\, and conducting well-adjusted causal inference on large-scale EHR. Furthermore\, the presentation will address critical challenges in the space of AI and healthcare: determining appropriate AI applications\, ensuring trustworthiness\, mitigating algorithmic bias\, and validating clinical utility. \nMore information.

SUMMARY:Positive Experience Shifts Fear Memories Away from Basolateral Amygdala
DESCRIPTION:Open to members of the University of Oxford only. \nThe basolateral amygdala (BLA) is at the centre of all biological models that detail how we form fear memories across species. However\, we have recently shown that GABAergic neurons in the lateral hypothalamus (LH GABA) become critical for formation of fear memories if subjects have recently had a positive experience. In this talk\, I will present data on how the recruitment of LH GABA neurons to encode fear memories impacts the role of the BLA in encoding fear memories. Using both optogenetic and lesion manipulations of BLA activity\, we first replicated findings that BLA activity is required for formation of fear memories in experimentally-naïve rats. However\, we found that if rats have recently had a distinct\, positively-valenced experience\, the BLA was no longer necessary for the formation of the fear memory. This shows that recruitment of LH GABA neurons to encode fear memories shifts the encoding of fear memories away from the BLA. As one of the most replicable findings in the behavioural neuroscience literature is that BLA inactivation or damage produces deficits in the formation of fear memories\, these data require a reconsideration of biological models of fear memories. More generally\, this work shows that brain regions can be recruited to encode information outside their traditional specialization and suggest a more fluid approach to conceptualizing memory formation\, which considers diversity of experience. \nMore information and registration.

SUMMARY:Regulation of RyR2 in the heart and brain
DESCRIPTION:Open to University of Oxford staff. \nType-2 ryanodine receptor (RyR2) mediated calcium release controls the contraction of cardiac myocytes and the excitability of neurons. Consequently\, inappropriate activation of RyR2 leads to disease\, such as arrhythmias and Alzheimer’s disease. Prof Jones will describe his published and unpublished research examining the pathophysiological regulation of RyR2 in the heart and brain. This spans from single protein super-resolution microscopy\, through real time calcium imaging\, to in vivo analysis in animal models\, and characterisation in human tissue. He will also present data on how targeting RyR2 might offer new treatments for arrhythmias and Alzheimer’s disease.\nMore information and registration.
