A long time ago we had the belief that the human brain was static ,immutable that we were born with a certain number of neurons which in time were lost with age. Thanks to[Neuroscience](http://conceptodefinicion.de/neurociencia/) today we know that neuroplasticity exists.

For a long time it was believed that the brain from a certain age onwards did not renew itself ,but scientific studies have shown that mental activity modifies the brain.

The human brain has billions of neurons interconnected byof multiple synapses (installed capacity), many of which aremultiplied or repeated (redundancy). Neurons are postmitotic cells,which means that they do not reproduce from themselves; but it isSome dendritic and/or axonal regeneration can be observed after injuries,although its functional meaning may be controversia.l

There are connectionsthat increase their level of activity when the death of a neuron occurs,a group of neurons that originally led a certain functioncompensatory exposure. The above elements are alwaysassociate changes in the excitatory-inhibitory balance of a group of synapses,the loss of influence of the groups that may be affected; withlocal and remote consequences.

The study of neuroplasticity is one of the most important contributions being made to education in recent times. This is a capacity of the brain that allows it to increase or decrease the number of neuronal ramifications and synapses from the stimulus on the cerebral cortex... This is how it is understood that neuroplasticity is the structural basis of learning, because there is a close relationship between internal and external stimuli received and the process of transformation of the brain throughout life.

This explains the child's flexibility in the face of multiple stimuli, because in childhood the brain produces a more intense activity because we are born with an incomplete brain which is equivalent to only 24% of an adult brain then the growth is due to the stimulation of the child's knowledge as it progresses in its growth.

The plasticity of a child's neurons is amazing because they can learn anything and put it into practice efficiently.

Appropriate care at an early age would facilitate the child's adaptation to schools served by neuro-education methodologies that seek to take advantage of knowledge about brain functioning for teaching and learning.Cognitive, social and emotional development is possible because the human brain is extraordinarily plastic, and can adapt its activity and change its structure significantly throughout life, but is more efficient in the early years of development (sensitive periods for learning), it is socially useful and morally acceptable to devote efforts to training focused on preventive parameters, which would allow us to build a better world for all.

From the perspective of education this method is transcendental since it would imply the improvement of any student even in students with attention deficit and hyperactivity, dyslecxia, etc; if we apply the principles based on the knowledge of the brain, the results in the classrooms would be surprising and at a behavioral level in general, a significant change would be obtained.

Each brain is unique. Although your organization about how people learn, and the areas related to each type of learning are general, each brain learns and is uniquely organized. Not even the brains of monozygotic twins are identical. This is because each of us has our own experiences that are different from those of the others.

We must be aware that this new approach highlights the need to transform the way of educating and transferring knowledge, leaving aside the old traditional methodological approaches and curricular designs that still prevail today, and in the vast majority of classrooms.

* *

Although we must not forget that these changes, to be effective, must be accompanied by the appropriate training in each case, with the perspective that teachers take advantage of this new knowledge on the functioning of the human brain and how to apply it in the classroom.

It is important to mention that these methodologies insist on the importance of understanding the student as a global being, and how his or her training in purely academic concepts must be linked to the understanding of the functioning of his or her daily environment, both conceptually and instrumentally. ¨Muchas times we train people to be great professionals, but we forget that first they have to be people".
