Brain science is a new and complex field. It has emerged with the application of new technologies for brain imaging like Magnetic Resonance Images (MRIs) and Computer Axial Tomography (CAT) scans. Since the brain is the site for learning, educators stand to benefit from this knowledge when it is applied to improving methods of teaching or improving conditions for learning. In this article, the author looks at some of the ways that learning about the brain translates to an enhanced understanding of what faculty can do. The author hopes that this article will (1) make clear that there is a need for educators to learn more about the brain; (2) provide some resources to support them in further independent learning about the topic; and (3) make the case that the work involved in learning about the brain is time well spent.
