Nature as an External Brain: Spaces That Regulate, Inspire, and Teach This article is part of the NeuroEduca Program, a proposal by Daniel Molina Martín that connects neuroscience, pedagogy, and educational space design. We are increasingly understanding the impact that the physical environment has on children’s well-being and learning. Among all elements that can transform

Executive Functions The prefrontal cortex is one of the most complex regions of the brain. It is often called headquarters, the conductor of an orchestra, or the pilot’s cabin, because it coordinates and directs behavior. From here we plan, inhibit impulses, regulate emotion, and manage attention. Together with the cingulate cortex, it exercises control over

Active Methodologies When we talk about learning, we usually think of content and techniques, but from neuroscience we know that learning is actually changing the brain. Learning means modifying neural architecture: strengthening connections, creating new networks, and reorganizing existing ones. This process is called neuroplasticity and is the biological foundation of all learning. What Experiences

Teaching with the Brain in Mind Teaching with the brain in mind means understanding that learning is not merely memorizing content, but a profoundly biological, emotional, bodily, and social process. We do not learn with our heads alone: we learn with our bodies, with our emotions, with our personal history, and within meaningful relationships. From

Innovating Without Breaking the School For years, the word innovation has entered schools as an uncomfortable visitor. Sometimes as a promise of salvation, other times as a threat to stability. It has been associated with projects, methodologies, or trends that appear and disappear, leaving behind enthusiasm, fatigue, and frequently, very little structural change. The problem

Emotion: The Engine of Learning You surely remember precisely where you were and what you felt during a highly impactful event, such as the attack on the Twin Towers. This occurs because experiences with high emotional charge are embedded much more strongly in our memory. This phenomenon is called flashbulb memory and is part of

5 Things You Will Learn About Yourself in This Training When we think about professional development, we often focus on the knowledge we will acquire or the new skills we will develop. However, the learning process is also a journey of self-discovery. As you progress, you will begin to notice things about yourself that you

Well-being, Attention, and Performance: A Neuroeducational Look at the AIDARE Model Traditionally, academic performance has been thought to depend primarily on individual effort and content mastery. However, neuroeducation has demonstrated that learning depends greatly on emotional state, available attention, and the quality of classroom experiences. Understanding this interaction enables more effective teaching that is better
