This document discusses how neuroscience, mindfulness, and learning are interconnected. It provides an overview of brain anatomy and functions, highlighting how the amygdala can hijack rational thinking in stressful situations. Mindfulness practices can help calm the amygdala and support healthy brain development by strengthening neural pathways involved in self-regulation, social engagement, and flexible thinking. Regular mindfulness training leads to benefits like reduced negativity bias, improved focus and memory, and more optimal learning. When integrated into education, developing students' mindfulness skills can foster on-task behavior, creativity, engagement, and prosocial behaviors.
