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

Neuro Myths - 5 views

  •  
    You've surely heard the slogans: "Our educational games will give your brain a workout!" Or how about, "Give your students the cognitive muscles they need to build brain fitness." And then there's the program that "builds, enhances, and restores natural neural pathways to assist natural learning."

    Male and female brains are radically different? Though there may be subtle differences between male and female brains, there is absolutely no significant evidence to suggest that the genders learn or should be taught differently. This myth might stem from a misinterpretation of books such as The Essential Difference: Men, Women, and the Extreme Male Brain, which focused largely on patients with autism.
  •  
    Here is a new reserach about differences of male and female brains. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-25198063#FBM315349 But I think we need more of them to generalize and decide,since the brain is the most complex organ.

    Excellent!!! There are so many myths about education and learning teachers, parents, and children just believe without further inquiry. Take mathfobia for instance. Many girls at very early ages are trained to believe that that cannot do math. Their whole education and career are shaped accordingly. These beliefs and misconceptions are really dangerous, and I have to admit that teachers and professors held many of these myths and educate accordingly.
  •  
    I am really disappointed now :( I have been deceived by those myths :( I was very sure about some people are left-brained and some are right-brained or the ages 0-3 are more important than any other age for learning. It is quite interesting that I still do not want to believe that they are wrong :)
  •  
    Thank you for this source, there are some like Afranur that disappointed me:) I believe that people taking these myths and carrying them all along can be related with a crucial element of our education system: not emphasizing making critiques and reflections. Fortunately critical literacy is gaining importance, I hope its effects will be seen in our education system as well.
  •  
    Now I understand why I felt so incomplete while learning those MYTHS in training sessions :-) As a listener, I always questioned my brain's capacity and thought that only the genius can use their brain's full potential...:-((
  •  
    Fischer's ideas are really interesting. I was most confused about his idea of left-right brained.

    As far as I see, this link was shared in this group a long time ago, but I've wanted to make it visible again so that you don't miss it. This is the last post coming from me for this week :).

Vilayanur Ramachandran: The neurons that shaped civilization - 1 views

  •  
    One of the living science legends, Ramachandran, who is well known for his studies in neuroscience, talks about the influence of 'mirror neurons' in our lives. This video has some implications for complex social learning and for interconnectedness among people happening as a result of our interacting brains.
  •  
    and so many connections to cultural learning. I am curious to read more about his work, like if there is any research on the developmental stages of humans and the development of mirror neurons over the years.

Brain Scans Forecast Math Skills - 0 views

  •  
    This study conducted in Standford University School of Medicine reveals that brain scans from 8-year-old children can predict gains in their mathematical ability over the next six years. That is a great development to learn students' math ability and provide proper type and level of education accordingly.

    What if teachers understood how to reach students so well that children feel included? It would be wonderful to find out the answer of this question, because the sense of isolation ibs the biggest barrier between students and teachers and it is really difficult to overcome.
  •  
    Thank you Defne :-) I don't know why but I always like reading the issues we discuss in well-known magazines and this is one of them :-)) Up to know, we've mostly tended to make a link between feelings and psychology, but now we see that our feelings and actions are closely connected with neurons, smtg physical. I wish we could understand all its implications on education. Perhaps in the future...
  •  
    I think that mirror neurons are really interesting to have such a function.
