Educational neuroscience is a field that connects brain research with education to improve learning. It looks at how the brain works during learning and how education affects the brain. By combining neuroscience and psychology, it helps educators understand how to optimize learning conditions for students. The field faces challenges like skepticism about the relevance of neuroscience to education and doubts about using neuroscience to diagnose disorders. Despite these challenges, educational neuroscience offers promising ways to improve education and raise ethical concerns. It aims to provide policymakers with evidence from neuroscience to make informed decisions about education, while being mindful of the current limitations of scientific knowledge.
