CNS 2021 Virtual, Day 2 Highlights

March 14, 2021

Day 2 of CNS 2021 Virtual started off strong and early with Poster Session B. Participants enjoyed connecting over new research in our interactive Poster Hall.  Then, our invited symposia kicked off, including a session on how prior knowledge shapes encoding new memories. After a brief break, conference-goers were treated to a lecture by Elizabeth Phelps on the occasion of her George A. Miller Prize. She not only paid homage to the award’s namesake, Miller, but also described her research path in emotion and memory. The afternoon rounded out with symposia on a range of topics, from network structure of episodic thought to interventions for the infant and neonatal brain, as well as Poster Session C. Throughout the day, participants could visit booths from our Exhibitors. Check out some highlights from Twitter here:

POSTERS-

 

My first “live” poster presentation in @SpatialChat for #CNS2021– very cool! Even had people interrupting the speaker politely to ask questions like in-person
The presenter @mariagbrucato did great presenting work on the role of attention in various types of perspective-taking! pic.twitter.com/M5VQtVFIuS

Good discussion in Poster Session B about how contextual shifts effect our episodic memory – presentation by @emilytcowan #CNS2021 @LilaDavachi pic.twitter.com/xo3rJhIZnd

Best experience of poster presentation in an online conference I had so far! It was really nice to be able to see and chat with friends from previous conferences at #CNS2021 pic.twitter.com/5t5lkB39EV

INVITED SYMPOSIA-

 

Memory is not a blank state — what we encode depends on what we know -Rik Henson kicks off the session on how prior knowledge affects memories #CNS2021 #neuroscience pic.twitter.com/eeeGIQNh97

Morris Moscovitch discusses eye-tracking studies to examine how reinstating schemas of familiar locations (e.g., kitchen) influenced search and memory for target objects in younger and older adults. #CNS2021 pic.twitter.com/gnnWzBg7Ca

.@preston_lab has us imagine a trip for the first time to Austin as a case study in cognitive map formation — making me miss travel! #CNS2021 pic.twitter.com/VbCu4K42ec

His group’s modeling has found that we selectively encode memories at event boundaries, like the end of a movie, which produces a more complete representation of the situation #CNS2021
He adds about interesting implications of this for machines, which encode continuously pic.twitter.com/UneIS7fkDX

.@AndreaGreve5 closes out they symposium by discussing how novel information conflicting with prior knowledge creates a prediction error that facilitates memory encoding #CNS2021 pic.twitter.com/7gO8af0YpW

Following this really interesting talk by Prof. @sofievalk on how evolution and cognition shape the brain. I am particularly hyped by her work showing training-induced changes in brain networks associated with social skills: https://t.co/EFmazPhjHZ #CNS2021 #WomenInScience pic.twitter.com/mNVDJBAX3V

GEORGE A. MILLER PRIZE LECTURE-

 

Congratulations Elizabeth Phelps @thephelpslab on the George A. Miller Prize in Cognitive Neuroscience

This was a great overview of how “cognitive neuroscience” emerged as a field. https://t.co/SNqh4dSfZV

Miller, Phelps says, wanted to promote an interdisciplinary approach to understanding cognition #CNS2021 pic.twitter.com/9vdbUbfk70

Loving all the multimedia Phelps has brought into her talk, including videos with human subjects and music played to rats #CNS2021 @thephelpslab

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) March 14, 2021

She chose “human neuroscience” for the name of her endowed position — something that she says cognitive neuroscience has brought us by integrating psychology with neuroscience
Thanks @thephelpslab for a terrific talk!#CNS2021 pic.twitter.com/dSbSp3cj4s

Their work has shown that those who received choline early in life showed higher non-verbal intelligence, higher visual-spatial skill, higher working memory ability, better verbal memory, and fewer behavioral symptoms of ADHD 4 years later than those in the placebo group #CNS2021
