| Neuroscience | As broadly defined investigates the processes by which the brain learns and remembers, from the molecular and cellular levels right through to brain systems |
| Brain Cells | transmit information via electrical signals, which pass from cell to cell via the synapses, triggering the release of neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) |

broadly comprises changes in connectivity, either via changes in potentiation at the synapse or via the strengthening or pruning of connections. Successful teaching thus directly affects brain function, by changing connectivity. |
| Brain Development | There are bursts of synaptogenesis, peaks of density, and then synapse rearrangement and stabilisation with myelinisation, occurring at different times and rates for different brain regions |
| Neuroimaging | based on the assumption that any cognitive task makes specific demands on the brain which will be met by changes in neural activity |

-Early diagnosis of special educational needs -The monitoring and comparison of the effects of different kinds of educational input on learning - Increased understanding of individual differences in learning and the best ways to suit input to learner |
| Sleep & Cognition | Recent neuroimaging studies suggest indeed that Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep is not only associated with self-reports of dreaming but is important for learning and memory |
| Emotion & Cognition | It is increasingly recognized that efficient learning does not take place when the learner is experiencing fear or stress. Stress can both help and harm the body. Stress responses can provide the extra strength and attention needed to cope with a sudden emergency |

he left brain/right brain claims probably have their basis in the fact that there is some hemispheric specialization in terms of the localisation of different skills. For example, many aspects of language processing are left-lateralised |
