Plasticity and learning are closely related, as education aims to enhance learning, while neuroscience seeks to understand the neural mechanisms involved in it. This interactive relationship suggests a future in which educational practices can best support learning and sustainable human development. Some aspects facilitate a functional integration between both disciplines, and it can be argued that neuroscience has a crucial role in education reform for continuous improvement in individual teaching practices and education systems.

This contribution explores the connection between neuroscience and education, emphasizing the significance of educational neuroscience approaches that could revamp the curriculum and innovative methods of learning and interpreting the world. The emerging field of educational neuroscience offers both opportunities and challenges for education. It provides a way to enhance mutual understanding and bridge the divide between educators, psychologists, and neuroscientists to uphold brain functionality for effective and satisfying learning, even in the later stages of life. To put it simply, learning can be a continuous process.
