The third day of CNS 2020 Virtual was rich and full, with 21 symposium talks, 3 panel discussions (one was live!), 2 award talks, and 2 poster sessions. From looking at the neural correlates of reading development to examining the sequential neural replay of human memories, symposia covered the latest research in cognitive neuroscience. Young Investigator Award recipients Catherine Hartley and Sam Gershman presented their bodies of work on learning throughout the lifespan and structure reinforcement learning, respectively. And the day finished out with the CNS Trainee Professional Development Panel. The highlights below, via Twitter, represent just a snippet of the day’s events:
Morning Symposia-
This is just the beginning of a new era in studying neural correlates of reading development, but here are some conclusions based on the current research on screen time -Horowitz-Kraus #CNS2020 pic.twitter.com/iiT63O1jrO

Thank you to everyone who came to our #CNS2020 symposium. It was fantastic to see that we had 342 individual attendees drop by (and some fantastic questions in the chat). It’s available ‘on demand’ if you missed it. Enjoy the rest of the conference! https://t.co/EUYgyfNCZc
