Hidden before our very eyes, clues to understanding the human brain and learning have been overlooked for centuries. Michaelangelo's painting above is an example. As many as 10,000 visitors a day miss the human brain he painted on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Adam, God (with Eve in his left arm), and the human brain, it's all there, larger than life! Children similarly show us the hidden clues to understanding the unique ways their brain's learn. Come along on this voyage into the mind of a child as we employ strategies to optimize their learning based on recent developments in brain research.

New experiences create new Neural Pathways... which is why I'm taking a new Tai Chi class and learning Japanese, and looking to join a calligraphy class. I plan to start learning how to play the guitar one day soon. New experiences, new learning, new neural pathways!
