Neuroscience and education: Enhancing learning through brain research

This Research Topic is a special awarded collection. To be eligible for a potential award supporting your submission, please ensure you submit your abstract here at least two weeks before submitting your manuscript.

In recent years, advances in neuroscience have provided valuable insights into how the brain learns, retains, and applies new information. By studying the neural mechanisms underlying memory, attention, emotion, and motivation, researchers and educators can work together to develop evidence-based teaching strategies that accommodate diverse learning needs. This interdisciplinary field, often termed educational neuroscience, bridges the gap between brain research and classroom practice, fostering innovation in pedagogy and curriculum design. By integrating neuroscience findings into educational frameworks, we can begin to better understand the factors that influence learning outcomes and pave the way for more effective, personalized educational experiences.



Despite significant progress in both neuroscience and educational sciences, much remains to be understood about how brain research can be practically leveraged to enhance teaching and learning. This Research Topic aims to address the pressing question: how can findings from neuroscience be utilized to inform and improve educational practices at all levels? We invite contributions that explore the challenges and opportunities in translating neuroscience research into classroom interventions, assessments, and digital learning tools. Our goal is to foster interdisciplinary dialogue between neuroscientists, educators, psychologists, and policymakers to develop actionable insights and collaborative frameworks. By sharing best practices, novel research, and critical reviews, we hope to accelerate the integration of cutting-edge brain research into educational policy and classroom practice, ultimately supporting more effective and equitaAuthors are encouraged to emphasize interdisciplinary perspectives and practical implications for teaching and policy.

Authors are encouraged to emphasize interdisciplinary perspectives and practical implications for teaching and policy. All methodological approaches are welcome. We welcome original research, reviews, theoretical articles, and case studies that address, but are not limited to, the following themes:

• Neural correlates of learning and memory in educational contexts

• The impact of sleep, nutrition, and emotional well-being on academic performance

• Neurodevelopmental differences and their implications for learning strategies

• Evidence-based interventions for learning difficulties such as dyslexia or ADHD

• The role of technology and digital tools in neuroscience-informed education

• Translational challenges: from laboratory findings to classroom applications

• Brain plasticity and lifelong learning
