3. THE BRAIN
The brain is a complex organ made up of neurons, glial cells, blood vessels
and many, many cells organized into specialized areas.

5. Learning process
in biological perspective
The biological processes of learning start within neurons, which are
electrically activated brain cells.

6. Neuron (nerve cells)
The neuron is the basic working unit of the brain, a specialized cell designed
to transmit information to other nerve cells, muscle, or gland cells.

8. COGNITION
Cognition is a term referring to the mental processes involved
in gaining knowledge and comprehension
Problem solving
Thinking
Knowing
Remembering judging

9. NEURO COGNITION
Neurocognitive function are cognitive function closely linked to the function of
particular areas ,neural pathways or cortical network in the brain

10. Functions
Attention
Perception
Remembering things
Processing information
Learning
Speaking and understanding

11. Neurocognitive functions are mental processes that are linked to
specific parts of the brain or pathways in the brain

12. Specific parts of the brain

13. Different brain regions are associated with different cognitive functions.
The performance of each cognitive function occurs through the enhanced
activation of the associated brain region, immersed in the functioning of
the whole brain.
Thus the enhanced functioning of a particular brain region leads to the
performance of the associated cognitive functions.
Thus a particular neurocognitive system refers to a particular cognitive
function and the associated brain region.
The identification of the enhanced activation of the concerned brain region as a
cognitive function is performed is evidenced by lesion and imaging studies on
anatomical loci during the performance of a cognitive task

16. Perisylvian cortex

20. What Happens in My Brain When I Am Learning?

21. Your brain is primarily composed of about 85 billion neurons, which is
more than the number of stars you can see with the naked eye in
the night sky.

23. Neuron cell
Sending information

24. When you are writing

25. Some neurons in your brain send the “move fingers” message to other neurons and
this message then travels through the nerves (like cables) all the way to your fingers.
The electrical signals that are communicated from one neuron to another are
therefore what allows you to do everything you do: write, think, see, jump, talk,
compute, and so on.

26. Synapses
The links between neurons are called synapses

28. Each neuron can be connected with up to 10,000 other
neurons, leading to a large number of connections in your brain

29. When you are learning, important changes take place in your brain, including the creation of
new connections between your neurons.
Neuroplasticity
The ability of your brain to change, that is to create, strengthen, weaken or dismantle
connections between your neurons.

30. Rewire your brain

31. NEUROCOGNITION IN EDUCATIONAL PERSPECTIVE
Strategies
Student psychology
Plenty of resource material Philosophy of education
Sociological perspective
Instructional design and learning

33. Practice of various Art-forms and the learning brain
Learning through playing games
Physical Activities and Movements

34. I suggest that, if the teacher may follow some of the following
neurocognitive practice

35. Relaxation training Cognitive restructuring
Neural Modeling
Neural Plasticity
Neural rewiring Neural firing
Neural tuning

36. Neuro scientists are mapping the pathways between body and brain

38. Cognitive and neuroeducational pedagogy
