Understanding nothing about chords or music theory, I settled on the relatively simple mountain dulcimer, a three-stringed lap instrument from Appalachia. Neuroscience: crammed with connections. For all the advances in artificial intelligence and neuroscience over the past century, the human brain is still the most intricate and enigmatic machinery on Earth.

Neuroscience: crammed with connections

As of 2015, scientists are still slowly untangling the brains’s web of profoundly complex connections, seeking the yet elusive knowledge of how it all actually works. This visualisation from Nature Video and Harvard University reconstructs a dustmite-sized slice of a mouse cortex that has been used in recent research. While the mapping reveals much about brain mechanics, it also illustrates the immense challenges scientists face when attempting to map even a minuscule amount of brain material.

Many educators have had the experience of not being able to reach some students until presenting the information in a completely different way or providing new options for student expression. Perhaps it was a student who struggled with writing until the teacher provided the option to create a graphic story, which blossomed into a beautiful and complex narrative.

Or maybe it was a student who just couldn't seem to grasp fractions, until he created them by separating oranges into slices. How speaking multiple languages benefits the brain - Mia Nacamulli.

Triggers of the Reptilian Brain. New Research: Students Benefit from Learning That Intelligence Is Not Fixed.

And new research from Stanford is helping to build the case that nurturing a “growth mindset” can help many kids understand their true potential.

The new research involves larger, more rigorous field trials that provide some of the first evidence that the social psychology strategy can be effective when implemented in schools on a wide scale. Amazing Brain Facts. 1.Brain imaging studies show that human feelings originate inside the brain. 2. The human brain structure is almost fully developed by age 11, though some higher self-management brain functions continue to develop into the mid 20’s. 3. The diameter of an individual brain neuron is 4 microns, meaning 30,000 could fit on the head of a pin. 4. The human brain has 100 billion neurons, making it the most powerful learning tool in the world. 5. Each single brain neuron has from 1,000 to 10,000 connections with other neurons, making up to 10 trillion neuron connections possible. 6. Alcohol interferes with brain processes by weakening connections between neurons. 7.
