Physical closeness and eye contact improve communication 

Olho mantendo contato visual

People tend to collaborate and communicate better when they are physically close —within socially acceptable limits— and can make eye contact. This finding comes from two neuroimaging experiments conducted in China, whose study was published in NeuroImage. Additionally, researchers observed greater synchronization in brain activity patterns in these situations.  The Importance of Communication  Communication is […]

Studies on Neuronal Connections May Enhance Teaching Methods

Studies carried out to identify which stimuli create and strengthen neuronal connections could help improve teaching methodologies Phenomena such as learning processes and memory formation are linked to changes in neurons and the connections between them, known as synapses. These changes are not directly related to the formation of new neurons, but primarily to modifications […]
