As neuroscience research compiles ever greater evidence of how the brain learns and processes information, some argue that their results should form the basis of educational reform. While a well-organized cooperation of neuroscientists and trained educators could lead to improved literacy skills and overall improved learning for all students, there is a catch. More often than not, educators tend to take a single eye-catching or too-good-to-be-true result from a research paper and run with it. Doing so, in absence of a paper\u2019s original context, can lead to unexpected negative results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Opportunity Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brain is the hub for processing every single aspect&nbsp;of the world around us. Neuroscientists who research brain function have been improving our understanding of these processes for years.
