In the last three decades, we have witnessed an acceleration of technological development in neuroscience, in parallel with remarkable methodological and conceptual achievements in the understanding of brain function. Complex analytical techniques and more precise instruments have enabled researchers to establish new causal relationships between neural dynamics and neurologic and neuropsychiatric disease states, learning and memory, sensory processing, cognitive development, affective states, decision-making and action. These advances have not only boosted the generation of innovative scientific knowledge in neuroscience, but have also contributed to the dissemination of neuroscientific knowledge across fields, including computational science, economics, and education.

One area in which the methodological and conceptual advances in neuroscience have opened new avenues is educational neuroscience. This emerging field seeks to translate research findings on neural mechanisms of learning into educationally relevant outcomes. In this special issue, MedUNAB presents a collection of papers highlighting some of the recent advances and future challenges in educational neuroscience.

Resumen

En las tres últimas décadas hemos sido testigos de una aceleración en el desarrollo tecnológico en la neurociencia, en paralelo con notables logros metodológicos y conceptuales en la comprensión de la función cerebral. Técnicas analíticas complejas e instrumentos más precisos han permitido a los investigadores establecer nuevas relaciones causales entre la dinámica neuronal y los estados de enfermedades neurológicas y neuropsiquiátricas, el aprendizaje y la memoria, el procesamiento sensorial, el desarrollo cognitivo, los estados afectivos, la toma de decisiones y la acción. Estos avances no sólo han impulsado la generación de conocimientos científicos innovadores en neurociencia, sino que también han contribuido a la difusión de los conocimientos neurocientíficos en otros campos, como la ciencia computacional, la economía y la educación.
