More and more people are talking about the brain and how brain science can improve learning. Columnists, interviews, profiles, and forums will keep you up to date with all the brain buzz.

"On the Brain" is an exciting new blog from Dr. Michael Merzenich, Ph.D., a pioneer in the field of brain plasticity. Over the past several decades, Dr. Merzenich has helped to demonstrate that the brain remains highly adaptive throughout life—able to change itself physically and functionally at any age—in stark contrast to the previously held belief among neuroscientists that the brain is "hard-wired" in infancy. Read his blog to learn about brain fitness, childhood learning, language development, reading and dyslexia, and more. Be sure to leave Dr. Merzenich a comment on the blog and let him know what you think!

 Commentary and ideas from BrainConnection readers about learning and education, brain science, and how all of these fit together. We want to know what you think.
 The 2000-2001 "BrainConnection to Education" conference series brought scientists and educators together in a meeting of the minds. Presenters discussed a wide range of topics related to education, emphasizing the current understanding of how the brain learns and the potential for applying this knowledge in the classroom.
