Abstract: In 1995, Josckusch constructed an infinite family of centrally symmetric (cs, for short) triangulations of $3$-spheres that are cs-$2$-neighborly. Recently, Novik and Zheng extended Jockusch's construction: for all $d$ and $n>d$, they constructed a cs triangulation of a $d$-sphere with $2n$ vertices, $Delt{a}_n^d$, that is cs-$lceild/2ceil$-neighborly. Here, several new cs constructions, related to $Delt{a}_n^d$, are provided. It is shown that for all $k>2$ and a sufficiently large $n$, there is another cs triangulation of a $(2k-1)$-sphere with $2n$ vertices that is cs-$k$-neighborly, while for $k=2$ there are $Omega(2^n)$ such pairwise non-isomorphic triangulations. It is also shown that for all $k>2$ and a sufficiently large $n$, there are $Omega(2^n)$ pairwise non-isomorphic cs triangulations of a $(2k-1)$-sphere with $2n$ vertices that are cs-$(k-1)$-neighborly. The constructions are based on studying facets of $Delt{a}_n^d$, and, in particular, on some necessary and some sufficient conditions similar in spirit to Gale's evenness condition. Along the way, it is proved that Jockusch's spheres $Delt{a}_n^3$ are shellable and an affirmative answer to Murai--Nevo's question about $2$-stacked shellable balls is given.
