CNS 2021 Virtual, Day 3 Highlights

March 15, 2021

The third day of CNS 2020 Virtual was rich and full, with 12 symposium talks across 2 concurrent sessions, 2 panel discussions, 1 award talks, and 2 poster sessions. We kicked off the day with the CNS Trainee Professional development panel and a special session, Affirming Black Excellence in Cognitive Neuroscience, which both offered rich perspectives for early-career and seasoned researchers alike. Robert Desimone then gave the 10th Annual Fred Kavli Distinguished Career Contributions in Cognitive Neuroscience Lecture on attentional control. The afternoon was full with symposia covering the latest research in cognitive neuroscience, from looking at the role of memory in predictive processing to new insights on the social cerebellum. The highlights below, via Twitter, represent just a snippet of the day’s events:

MORNING HIGLIGHTS-

Great to see high engagement in the posters this morning! #CNS2021
This discussion led by @AlexDavidClarke around his poster about the role of the hippocampus in reinstating sensory details that are contextually relevant pic.twitter.com/cmF9vTC6KP

We’re up bright and early for this virtual poster session. Stop by poster D73 to say hi! #CNS2021 pic.twitter.com/AeyjzGFP2S

At Affirming Black Excellence in Cognitive Neuroscience , the goal is to highlight black voices in cognitive neuroscience #CNS2021 @TarazLee pic.twitter.com/BX5lCRugD3

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) March 15, 2021

His lab specifically looks at motivation in this context, for example how motivation can improve motor skills #CNS2021 @TarazLee pic.twitter.com/A3SEmnDXit

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) March 15, 2021

.@TarazLee says that like many scientists, he does not think his identity necessarily has shaped the research questions he explores, but says that he does see daily how his identity as a black man in cognitive neuroscience has shaped his experience #CNS2021 pic.twitter.com/eksz5UQWgf

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) March 15, 2021

Likewise, he feels the pull to serve on diversity committees but it can take away from his work. #CNS2021 @TarazLee

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) March 15, 2021

Likewise, music has a rich and specific structure, which can be a useful tool for understanding how the brain works #CNS2021 @jay_neuro pic.twitter.com/NcH4QY6dOY

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) March 15, 2021

In another study, @jay_neuro looks at how a film score can enhance memory of a film #CNS2021
(see if you can spot the film!) pic.twitter.com/8fF33eJ4dh

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) March 15, 2021

Dr. Jamal Williams is doing very interesting work on how music is represented in the brain, how it could influence our memory, and the neural mechanisms to how music can stimulate generation of stories! #CNS2021 pic.twitter.com/6S4qWaVoaC

— Chelsie Hart (@ChelsieMHart) March 15, 2021

He is a dancer and he likes to think about his work in the context of dance — there is a constant modification and refinement of what you are doing with your body for intelligent action to follow #CNS2021 @TBBake

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) March 15, 2021

.@TBBake wants to put the whole body in frame, which includes race and social status, when thinking about human behavior #CNS2021

The effects of poor sleep are vast, as are the benefits for cognition #CNS2021 @LNWhitehurstPhD pic.twitter.com/DOQqBs27L7

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) March 15, 2021

Listening to loved ones prompted @LNWhitehurstPhD to ask different questions about sleep – who can actually get the sleep that science says we need?
There are race- and socioeconomic-related sleep inequities#CNS2021 #BlackInNeuro pic.twitter.com/9jS57ytjjw

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) March 15, 2021

So what can we do so that everyone feels safe to sleep? Some thoughts from @LNWhitehurstPhD including the need to stop perpetuating harmful stereotypes, such as those about sleep and laziness #CNS2021 pic.twitter.com/Jrj2zm2NoB

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) March 15, 2021

Dr. Lauren Whitehurst (@LNWhitehurstPhD) putting research on sleep into context. Incredible, engaging, inspiring talk. #CNS2021 pic.twitter.com/aRvtPxfvyC

AFTERNOON HIGHLIGHTS-

.@MillerLabMIT introduces Robert Desimone for the Fred Kavli Distinguished Career Contributions in Cognitive Neuroscience Lecture — honoring his work on attention #CNS2021 pic.twitter.com/ETCtdHPKEj

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) March 15, 2021

Congratulations to Robert Desimone @mcgovernmit, recipient of the Fred Kavli Distinguished Career Contributions in Cognitive Neuroscience!
Excited for his lecture now! #CNS2021 pic.twitter.com/xP6trO5yUG

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) March 15, 2021

He is now walking us through his body of work on attentional control, including the role of the prefrontal cortex. After the lecture, you can learn more about his work in this Q&A: https://t.co/3UVQHGY4ej #CNS2021

Lecture on the Prefrontal Cortex & the Control of Attention by Desimone at #CNS2021

Nice summary of key regions involved in visual attention. #CNS2021 by R. Desimone

Exciting lineup for today’s symposium on The Roles of Memory on Predictive Processing!@CNSmtg @pheedloop #CNS2021 pic.twitter.com/yF1PA7GgOt

— Ashley Miller (@AshleyM23097374) March 15, 2021

Van Overwalle kicks off his talk by showing clichés about his home, Belgium — saying that the cerebellum provides clichés on how things should work, which is an important optimization process for the brain #CNS2021 pic.twitter.com/0Z2kELYznI

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) March 15, 2021

Elien Heleven looks at the role the posterior cerebellum plays in understanding and constructing the correct order of new action sequences relevant for social cognition, showing also a strong connection with social mentalizing regions in the cortex. #CNS2021 pic.twitter.com/cBiuwOHBYH

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) March 15, 2021

Lastly, Chiara Ferrari discusses the contribution of the cerebellum to emotional processing, using TMS to interfere with cerebellar activity while study participants perceive facial expressions #CNS2021 pic.twitter.com/ZznT7NIEJt

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) March 15, 2021

In case you missed our poster today at @CNSmtg #CNS2021. Here is the poster by @JenniferMZuk presenting a longitudinal study on early infant brain measures and subsequent #reading outcomes: "White matter in infancy is associated with subsequent decoding abilities at school age". pic.twitter.com/qHS8bOxVzK

— Dr. Nadine Gaab (@GaabLab) March 15, 2021

Interesting thinking about the implications of this work for mindfulness training in older adults
They found that proactive control (v. reactive) benefitted older adults during passive viewing rather than reappraisal — i.e. thinking on the bright side #CNS2021 pic.twitter.com/nnSg4zhnZc

— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) March 15, 2021

Thankful for a lively, & engaging virtual conference format making it possible to connect with friends & colleagues near and far at my 'poster booth'! Well done @CNSmtg for recreating the poster hall experience best we could imagine @psycheloui @parkertichko @KDavison314 #CNS2021 pic.twitter.com/Sq1vbBe3Mu
