LOOKING AHEAD: #CNS2027
Mark your calendars! The Cognitive Neuroscience Society is excited to announce that CNS 2027 Annual Meeting will be held in Boston, from March 20–23, 2027.

Stay tuned for more information regarding abstract submissions and award nominations.

Thank you for a wonderful conference in Vancouver #CNS2026! Special shout-out to volunteer @mohithvarma.bsky.social who helped us cover sessions. Here we are bidding you farewell and safe travels! Look forward to seeing everyone again in Boston next year for #CNS2027!!

Next up Andy Lee asking: do our emotions in terms of how intense they are and whether they are positive or negative may distort how we remember the time between past events?

As usual with emotions… it’s complicated!

#CNS2026

Kicking off the symposium on how emotion shapes our memory @danipalombo.bsky.social and her PhD student Chantelle Cocquyt by asking: does a reminder cue affect how you recall an emotional event differently if it comes before vs after it?

Turns out this research reveals order matters!

Such a fun symposium! Thank you Andre and @jingnandu.bsky.social for bringing us together for a great #CNS2026! 🧠🍁

Day 4 with @gc-cogneuro.bsky.social at #CNS2026 @cogneuronews.bsky.social

One hour left of the exhibit hall on the last day! Swing by Booth 14 for a shirt, water bottle, or pens before it’s all gone!🧠🖊️

Good morning #CNS2026 ! 👋🏾
I’m at poster F55 this morning - come say hi and learn about neural articulatory encoding in naturalistic speech perception 👂🧠🗣️

wow what a spot to be assigned !! come grab some breakfast and hang out with me at poster F30 ‘til 10 am PST !! 🥰🤓🧠 #CNS2026

Wonderful time at the #CNS2026 Individual-level precision fMRI symposium yesterday with this lovely lineup. See you at the next one!

We’ve loved the energy of the last few days; now let’s bring that same spirit to our closing presentations. Check the Schedule Overview (cogneurosociety.org/schedule-of-...) to plan your final day. Let's end on a high note!

#CNS2026 It’s been an unforgettable four days in Vancouver, and we have one more day of world-class science ahead. Today’s lineup features our final invited symposia, regular symposia and poster session F, this is your last chance to catch the latest research, connect with our exhibitors!

Wonderful to see an all-women panel of successful scientists at #CNS2026 sharing their experiences and offering thoughtful guidance on building an academic career in cognitive neuroscience 👩‍🔬✨

Conferences are for science, but they are also for catching up with old friends. Nice to see these and so many others at #CNS2026

I’ve been having a great time at @cogneuronews.bsky.social !!

If you’ll be around for the final day of the meeting, come say hi during the last poster session (8-10am, Poster F34)! I’ll be sharing some new work on how dynamic memory control helps regulate intrusive thoughts!

A lot of great guidance at this session, on everything from finding mentors and building peer networks to how to balance productivity with opportunities for recognition and life happenings
#CNS2026 6/

Caterina Gratton advocates for mentorship networks, to have different people you can go to for different tasks
#CNS2026 5/

Regina Lapate also benefited from seeing scientists living the type of life she envisioned for herself.
#CNS2026 4/

Hee Yeon Im never expected the scientific career she had had. She advices that trainees give themselves time and room to explore
#CNS2026 3/

Morgan Barense says that it can be hard to be what you can't see, and as a grad student, she wanted female role models, and once she did, everything changed...She advises trainees to look around, to see if there are role models that exhibit the type of experiences they are looking for

The trainee panel is starting now! Hear from an all-star panel about strategies for building a career that lasts

50 Years of Busting Myths About Aging in the Brain Carol Barnes, CNS2026 DCC recipient, has spent her career working to bust myths about age, the aging process, and memory.

The challenge for the future, Barnes said, is to optimize cognitive health across the lifetime.

The overall message across research studies is that aging is not a disease
-Barnes #CNS2026 5/

The Precision Aging Network is an active research study with hundreds of thousands of participants, from ages 18-101, to better understand cognition across the human lifespan. Anyone can contribute via an online test: mindcrowd.org
-Barnes #CNS2026 4/

There's a fundamental set of biological processes that happens across species but is faster in rodents and monkeys, giving an opportunity for animal model research.
And Barnes says, never get health advice from centenarians, who have exceptional genetics 😆
#CNS2026

Barnes starts by dispelling the notion that aging inevitably means dementia. This graphic, researchers now know, is fake news
