How would it
affect educational systems if everyone truly believed that the human brain could
change structurally and functionally as a result of learning and experience--for
better or worse? How would it affect how we teach and how students learn if
everyone believed that the kinds of environments we create for learning, how we
teach, and the learning strategies we offer students could result in better
mental equipment they will use throughout life? In News from the Neurosciences,
you will find articles that support the validity of this concept, as well as
articles of current interest on various other aspects of brain research and its
implications for education.

12 Brain/Mind Learning
Principles in Action - One Author's Personal Journey Renate Caine
Education professor introduces her twelve organizing principles for how the
brain/mind learns and how to use that information to enhance student learning.
Brain Science and
Education Noboru Kobayshi
Director of Child Research Net discusses implications of brain research for
education and reports on a recent conference on that topic in Japan.
What is "The Art of Changing
the Brain?" James E. Zull
The art of learning is the
arrangement
of the right conditions and challenges in ways that engage the learner, students
have the chance to use their whole brain.
Special Education and the Concept of Neurodiversity Thomas Armstrong
A well known educator and author describes how new research on neurodiversity is
very much in line with contemporary psychology's new approach to "positive
psychology" and will be fundamental in changing the attitudes and outlook of
people toward children in special education programs.
Response
of the Brain to Enrichment Marian Cleeves Diamond
Although the brain possesses a relatively constant macrostructural organization,
the ever-changing cerebral cortex, with its complex microarchitecture of unknown
potential, is powerfully shaped by experiences before birth, during youth and,
in fact, throughout life.
The Significance
of Enrichment Marian Cleeves Diamond
Diamond describes the physiological changes in the brain in response to
differences in environment.
Enrichment in
Action Marian Cleeves Diamond
Dr. Diamond shares information about her work in Cambodia that further
strengthens her case for providing an enriching environment to stimulate brain
growth.
What are the
Determinants of Children's Academic Successes and Difficulties? Marian
Cleeves Diamond
How can parents and teachers provide conditions that will most effectively
promote growth and change in our children's brains? How can parents help a child
develop his or her full potential and set a pathway of lifelong learning? In
this article, Marian Diamond, neuroanatomist describes ways in which parents and
teachers should create a climate for enchanted minds to obtain information,
stimulate imagination, develop an atmosphere to enhance motivation and
creativity and experience the value of a work ethic.
Male and
Female Brains Marian Cleeves Diamond
Are there significant differences between the male and female brain?
Why Einstein's
Brain? Marian Cleeves Diamond
The excitement of discovery is infectious -- Marian Diamond describes how she
came to be interested in studying the ratio of glial cells to neurons in
Einstein's brain back in the early 1980s.
Successful Aging of
the Healthy Brain
Marian Cleeves Diamond
Dr. Diamond shows us how to keep our brains active and healthy throughout our
lifetime.
The Brain . . . Use
It or Lose It Marian Cleeves Diamond
No matter what form enrichment takes, it is the challenge to the nerve cells
that is important. Data indicate that passive observation is not enough; one
must interact with the environment.
My Search for Love
and Wisdom in the Brain Marian Cleeves Diamond
The force of basic human needs for love and wisdom can be examined in the parts
and functions of the human brain. Changes in emotions and environment are
integrated into the physical structure of the brain, linking love and wisdom to
experience and perception.
Brains on Fire: The
Multimodality of Gifted Thinkers Brocke Eide and Fernette Eide
Neuroscientists describe differences in brain physiology and function of gifted
students.
Environment Shapes Auditory Processing Navzer Engineer, Cherie Percaccio
and Michael Kilgard
Brains of both animals and humans are 'plastic' throughout one's lifetime.
Optimizing Memory in the
Adult Brain for Effectiveness in a Multitasking Society Donalee Markus
The author is a psychologist who has worked for many years with Dr. Reuven
Feuerstein in his pioneering "teaching intelligence" program. She describes new
skills she has developed for improving memory in the adult and senior years.

discusses basic tools for thinking and learning.
Teaching Study Skills with
Brain Science Timmi Jo Forbes, et al.
The author uses neuroscience in the classroom so that special needs students can
discover for themselves how they can learn.
The Treasure at the Bottom
of the Brain Henrietta C. Leiner and Alan L. Leiner
New tools have allowed researchers to learn more about brain function. The
cerebellum, underestimated for centuries, now seems to be the complex "computer"
that helps the brain function efficiently and effectively.
Misunderstood Minds
Mel Levine
Struggling students are often misunderstood by the adult world. Dr. Levine
created All Kinds of Minds to apply the latest neuro-developmental
research to the understanding and management of differences in learning. The
Institute provides families and teachers with a framework, a common language and
tools to enable this large, needy and highly vulnerable segment of America's
schoolchildren to become more successful learners.
Embryological
Development of the Human Brain Arnold B. Scheibel, MD
Dr. Scheibel tells the fascinating story of how the brain develops in human
beings from conception to birth. He makes clear that this complex, rapidly
developing process is affected continually by the environment in which it is
taking place. What mothers eat, drink, and feel -- and the environments which
they themselves experience--affect daily the neural development of their unborn
child.
An Interview With
Robert Sylwester
Dee Dickinson interviews Dr. Robert Sylwester from the University of Oregon, one
of the foremost synthesizers of brain research applied to education, on how he
came to be interested in brain theory.
The Downshifting
Dilemma: A Commentary and Proposal Robert Sylwester
Recent cognitive neuroscience developments are altering our understanding of a
variety of brain systems and processes. The widely used metaphor of downshifting
doesn't adequately communicate current understandings of how students respond to
stressful situations. The new terms reflexive and reflective better describe our
dual response system and its more complex function.
Unconscious Emotions,
Conscious Feelings, and Curricular Challenges Robert Sylwester
Emotions and their role in the classroom are discussed.
Language Learning
Impairment: Integrating Research and Remediation Paula Tallal, Ph.D.
A computer game program called Fast ForWord? has been shown to significantly
improve the central auditory processing and speech and language skills of
language learning impaired children. This novel remediation technique grew out
of a collaboration between Dr. Paula Tallal and Dr. Michael Merzenich. Their
research show that improvements are replicable and continue over time and are
achieved in a relatively short, intensive program.
