Features: Brain and cognitive science is one of the most active frontiers in science in the 21st century. New brain structure and function imaging technologies enable us to directly observe how the human brain learns, thinks, generates emotions, and engages in various social behaviors. One remarkable advancement is that brain and cognitive science research is revealing the neural mechanisms underlying children's and adolescents' learning of Chinese, English, mathematics, and scientific knowledge, exploring the significant role of different teaching and learning methods in shaping brain structure and function plasticity, and gaining deeper insights into the neural mechanisms of various learning and cognitive disorders. This provides scientific principles and methods for students and teachers to improve teaching and learning efficiency and address various learning and cognitive challenges. Based on new research findings in brain and cognitive science, "Brain-Based Learning and Teaching" is rapidly gaining traction worldwide. This book explores adolescent neurobiological and physiological changes, introduces new advancements and discoveries in adolescent research, and recommends scientific teaching strategies for adolescent education.
