"Neuroplasticity," or how the brain changes with learning, memory, and experience. The brain is not "hardwired" from birth, but holds a remarkable lifelong power to change. Positive or negative environments, exercise, nurturance, learning, and other experiences continue to change the brain throughout life.
These findings point to new possibilities for "rewiring" the brain to help overcome learning disorders and to enhance memory, learning, IQ, and achievement in all learners.
"Neuroscience has the potential to transform education," said Anne Rosenfeld, The Learning And The Brain Conference president.
Conference participants will learn about:
* Brain-based teaching for children, adolescents and adults
* How stress and early adversity shape brains and later learning
* New insights into reading and math disorders and interventions
* Influences that change the brain and affect learning
* Cutting-edge environments, technology and insights into adult learning
* Techniques for treating mood, ADHD, stress, and learning problems
* How the brain can be retrained to improve attention and memory
* The role of brain plasticity in resilience, empathy, and teaching
The plastic brain refers to the capability of the brain to change throughout life which in Scientific terms is quite a new discovery. Once, until fairly recent years, it was thought that the brain only had this capacity in the early years.
