The brain appears to have been designed to solve problems related to surviving in an outdoor setting, in unstable meteorological conditions, and to do so in near constant motion.

If you wanted to create an education environment that was directly opposed to what the brain was good at doing, you would probably design something like a classroom.

The brain doesn't care about change. As the world's most sophisticated survival organ, the brain cares about loss.

The brain remembers the emotional component of an experience better than any other aspect.

Every brain is wired differently from every other brain, and learns in ways unique to that wiring.

We must do a better job of encouraging lifelong curiosity.

I think the most incredible fact about the brain is that it is the only piece of biological real estate that can actually study itself. I can think about that for decades - I have, actually - and still be in drop dead amazement.
