CNS Symposia

Since 1991, the Center has organized and hosted a biennial international symposium in neuroscience, which brings scholars from the finest laboratories in the world to New York University for a two to four-day conference. These highly successful meetings jointly satisfy the goals of bringing together the best workers in a particular field, and of providing a grand synthesis of the current state of that field for both practitioners and amateurs of the neural sciences.

The thirteenth CNS symposium, Advances in Memory Systems 2017 will be held on May 24-25, 2017 at Helen and Martin Kimmel Center for University Life, 60 Washington Sq. South, New York University.

The twelfth CNS symposium, Advances in Memory Systems 2015 took place on May 28-29, 2015 at the Rosenthal Pavilion Room, 60 Washington Square South (10th Floor), New York University.

The eleventh CNS symposium, Advances in Memory Systems took place on April 4-5, 2013. This was held at the Kimmel Center, 60 Washington Square South,New York University.

The tenth CNS symposium, Mysteries and Marvels of Memory, took place on March 26-28, 2010. This was held at The Silver Center, 31 Washington Place, New York University.

The ninth CNS symposium, Neuroeconomics: Decision Making and the Brain, took place on January 11 - 13, 2008. This exciting event drew speakers nationally and internationally. They presented their groundbreaking research in the emerging field of Neuroeconomics.

The eighth CNS symposium, Theoretical Neuroscience (2005), explored the interaction between mathematical modelling and neurobiological experimentation. September 17-18, 2005.

The seventh CNS symposium, Imaging the Brain: Neurons, Networks and Behavior (2003), explored the contribution of functional imaging techniques to our understanding of higher brain functions.

The sixth, Processing the Auditory Environment (2001), explored the neural basis of auditory perception.

The fifth, Plasticity and Adaptability of the Adult Brain (1999), explored evidence that receptive field properties can be modified by experience or context.

The fourth, From Attention to Action (1997), examined the events that connect sensation and action.

The third, Memory and Brain (1995), highlighted recent critical advances in the understanding of the structure of memory, from biological, cognitive, and theoretical perspectives.

The second, The Development of Brain Function (1993), showcased the full range of modern developmental neurobiology, from molecular mechanism to cognitive functions.

The first symposium, Neurons, Vision, and Cognition (1991), linked the understanding of higher level functions in visual and cognitive science to the workings of the nervous system.
