CNS 2024: Day 2 Highlights

The second day of CNS 2024 was richly  packed with 6 stimulating symposia — on topics ranging from competing neuroscientific theories of consciousness and memory engrams to the influence of dreams on cognition and multisensory development across the lifespan — two poster sessions, an NIH workshop, and the George A. Miller Prize lecture by Lynn Nadel. Check out some highlights in photos and tweets below.
