In Brain Rules, Dr. John Medina, a molecular biologist, shares his lifelong interest in how the brain sciences might influence the way we teach our children and the way we work. In each chapter, he describes a brain rule—what scientists know for sure about how our brains work—and then offers transformative ideas for our daily lives.
Medinaa€?s fascinating stories and infectious sense of humor breathe life into brain science. Youa€?ll learn why Michael Jordan was no good at baseball. Youa€?ll peer over a surgeona€?s shoulder as he proves that most of us have a Jennifer Aniston neuron. Youa€?ll meet a boy who has an amazing memory for music but cana€?t tie his own shoes.
You will discover how:
A?A?A? * Every brain is wired differently
A?A?A? * Exercise improves cognition
A?A?A? * We are designed to never stop learning and exploring
A?A?A? * Memories are volatile
A?A?A? * Sleep is powerfully linked with the ability to learn
A?A?A? * Vision trumps all of the other senses
A?A?A? * Stress changes the way we learn
