Recently there has been growing interest in and debate about the relation between cognitive neuroscience and education. Our goal is to advance the debate beyond both recitation of potentially education-related cognitive neuroscience findings and the claim that a bridge between fields is chimerical. In an attempt to begin a dialogue about mechanisms among students, educators, researchers and practitioner-scientists, we propose that multiple bridges can be built to make connections between…

TLDR
It seems timely, therefore, to consider how the increased understanding of brain development and brain function to explore educational questions is implemented.
A role for neuroscientists in engaging young minds
TLDR
To encourage such scientist–teacher interactions, changes must be made in the culture of the scientific community to promote these partnerships, with the ultimate goal of improving neuroscience literacy.
Education and the Brain : A Bridge Too Far
B rain science fascinates teachers and educators, just as it fascinates all of us. When I speak to teachers about applications of cognitive science in the classroom, there is always a question or two…
Influencing brain networks: implications for education
TLDR
The results obtained appear sufficient to propose research-based interventions that could prove useful in improving the ability of children to adjust to the school setting and to acquire skills like literacy and numeracy.
Pedagogy Meets Neuroscience
TLDR
There is a danger that new efforts to incorporate research in this area into education could be stymied by falsely raising the hopes of the public and policy-makers, and there is the further danger that people will ignore the importance of empirical research in the fields of educational and instructional science, psychology, and information technology.
Child Development and Neuroscience.
TLDR
2 major advances in the developmental brain sciences that have potentially profound implications for under standing behavioral development are discussed.
The role of neuroscience in the remediation of students with dyslexia
TLDR
Treatment of dyslexia has been advanced through neuroscience, yet further study is needed to provide rigorous, reproducible findings that will sustain commercial approaches.
Neuroscience Perspectives on Disparities in School Readiness and Cognitive Achievement
TLDR
The authors show how the extreme stress of being placed in an orphanage leads to abnormal brain development and decreased cognitive functioning and look ahead to the day when effective educational interventions can begin to close racial and socioeconomic gaps in readiness and achievement.

TLDR
Non-invasive imaging of higher-order brain functions in humans will clarify the brain's developmental processes, and will provide various evidence for learning sciences.
