It was a great 4 days of science in Boston at CNS 2018! The sun was out and it was warming up outside, while inside participants were treated to the last poster session of the meeting and a wonderful set of final symposia. Talks covered what makes musical rhythm special and sleep’s role in memory and emotion processing, as well as well as age-related cognitive decline, among other topics. Check out our full photo album of the day here on Facebook and check out our Twitter coverage here.
