Neuroscience, Brain Plasticity, Education, Public Health, InterdisciplinarityAbstract
This article discusses advances in modern neuroscience and their contribution to understanding human brain function, highlighting the relationship between neural processes and cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functions. The study presents a literature review focused on key concepts, such as brain plasticity, as well as the applicability of neuroscientific knowledge in areas such as education, health, and public policy. The methodology used is based on a critical analysis of up-to-date and relevant academic sources, which underpin the discussion of the findings. The findings indicate that understanding brain function can aid in the development of more effective practices to promote learning, well-being, and quality of life, especially when considering individual specificities and social conditions. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of interdisciplinarity and ethics in the application of neuroscientific technologies and interventions, ensuring their responsible and socially beneficial use. The study concludes that advances in neuroscience offer significant opportunities for improving educational, clinical, and social strategies, highlighting the need for continued research and the integration of knowledge to address contemporary challenges. The research reinforces the importance of public policies that coordinate different sectors to ensure equitable access to the benefits provided by neuroscience, contributing to the promotion of mental health and human development.
