It’s been 25 years since the field of neuroeducation first reared its head in academia. Spearheaded in 1988 by the Psychophysiology and Education Special Interest Group, educational neuroscience is now the focus of many research organizations around the world, including the Centre for Educational Neuroscience; the International Mind, Brain, and Education Society; and the Neuroeducational Research Network.
To celebrate the progress of this monumental discipline, we have compiled a list of the 25 most significant findings in neuroscience education over the past 25 years.

What does neurology tell us about education? This post looks at 25 discoveries over the last 25 years. Some may be new to you and remember this is a field that is changing rapidly.
Below are a few of the discoveries that are covered.
* Brain plasticity - "...the brain changes constantly as a result of learning, and remains ‘plastic’ throughout life."
* "The brain’s response to reward is influenced by expectations and uncertainty."
* "Learning involves both focused attention and peripheral attention."
