The 30th annual meeting of the Cognitive Neuroscience Society (CNS 2023) kicked off in San Francisco with a fantastic line-up, including the Data Blitz session, a special symposium celebrating 30 years of cognitive neuroscience, Poster Session A, and the keynote lecture by Martha Farah about using cognitive neuroscience as a tool for understanding and mitigating against the effects of poverty on the brain. We closed out the 30th anniversary meeting with a dance party featuring special guest Pavlov’s Dogz. Check out some highlights in photos and tweets below.

CNS at 30: Perspectives on the Roots, Present, and Future of Cognitive Neuroscience-
Takes us back, with brief history of the field, to a time when “cognitive neuroscience” didn’t exist… Emerged from the joining together of psychology, neuroscience, computation, and even philosophy with a shared goal of understanding how the mind works -Reuter-Lorenz #CNS2023

Fascinating to hear from Schacter how closely the advancement of memory research paralleled the broader cross-talk that evolved for neuroscience and psychology, eventually merging in cognitive neuroscience #CNS2023

Throwback to Schacter’s 2019 award talk about the adaptive and constructive nature of human memory and this Q&A: https://t.co/7DiuPh3eZ3 #CNS2023

Behrmann will talk us through the history of the debate over brain organization… Hemispheric specialization v more distributed networks #CNS2023 pic.twitter.com/C2gyrawDHE

Throwback to this 2019 CNS Q&A with Behrmann about her work on visual behavior and the functional organization of the hemispheres of the brain https://t.co/pLi3j4Jkd8 #CNS2023

For Turk-Browne, the questions he’s been exploring in infant cognition and behavior are personal. Today is his son’s first birthday. Happy birthday to him 🎈 #CNS2023 pic.twitter.com/Rj1srJYzpg

Turk-Browne discusses developmental mystery: infants are remarkably good statistical learners, which is traditionally thought to depend on the hippocampus, but the field of memory considers the hippocampus immature in infants #CNS2023

And last but not least Adriana Galvan on the promise of developmental cognitive neuroscience, exploring questions about adolescence #CNS2023 pic.twitter.com/MIPBJtotR3

Cognitive neuroscience has allowed us to shift the cultural narrative around adolescence -Galvan #CNS2023
Great talk and great session from all the speakers on the past 30 years of cognitive neuroscience!— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) March 25, 2023

Farah tells the tale of being a “once happy” vision researcher and leaving that all behind after getting to know 3 families of low socioeconomic status (SES)…learning about their lives was like going through the looking glass She switched to researching SES & the brain #CNS2023
