    It is the most fascinating metaphor for learning according to neuroscientific view. Actually I do not have some much information about how learning takes place in our brains but this video made some parts clear for me. I do not whether it can be an appropriate conslusion from this video or not, but I think that learning without assistance of someone more competent than us could be very difficult, as the older man in the video helped the younger one. so that is why we, teachers are priceless ;)

    The example of bridging to explain the gap between synapses were clear to understand how learning occurs in our brain.What most attracted my attention is the difficulty of taking the first step, which reminded me of the conditions necessary to prompt students to learn and make connections.

    I like the video very much; I got the message for myself that start learning the upcoming process will be easier :)

    What a good way of showing an unknown concept through known ways..Thank you, The bridge is a very well-selected metaphor:-) When we think about our own way of learning, isn't it the same? It's always difficult to make the first link but then everything becomes easier...step by step...

    In the video, there exists a really interesting metaphor about how we learn. Through this video some neurological concepts and comments about learning became concrete in my mind. I think there is a smooth transition from difficulty to easiness in our brains during the learning process.

    This is a video about how we learn through synapses and the actions in our nerves based on an experiment conducted on mice. It also shows the memorization process and how we forget something.

Brain's connective cells are much more than glue: Glia cells also regulate learning and... - 1 views

    This paper can help us neuroscience week… It is too interesting New research indicates that glia cells are "the brain's supervisors." By regulating the synapses, they control the transfer of information between neurons, affecting how the brain processes information. This new finding could be critical for technologies based on brain networks, as well as provide a new avenue for research into disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy.
