Scientific keys for quality education

Abstract

Scientific clues for high quality education Author: Ignacio Morgado Bernal Professor in Psychobiology at the Institute of Neurosciences at the Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona We have recently made great strides on how the human brain represents and stores information. Learning basically means acquiring new neuronal representations of knowledge and establishing functional connections between them and the ones previously existent in our brain. This is possible because when we learn we make new connections (synapses) between neurons storing knowledge or we reinforce those previously existing.
