Brain
science/ Psychology is changing the educational climate?
Researchresults accumulated so far are pouring out through the 10th “World Congress on Brain and Neuroscience (IBRO 2019),” which opened in Daegu on the 21st.More than 3,500 scientists, including Nobel Prize winners from 88 countries, are presenting new research results through invited lectures and symposiums. In particular, Professor Stanislas Dehaene, a neuroscientist who was a mathematician, received great attention. He said, 'How do we learn? “How we learn: Building bridges between neuroscience and education,” he said in a lecture under the title “How we learn: Building bridges between neuroscience and education, we can make education more efficient through emerging brain functions.”

France applies brain science to educational curriculum
As the former president of IBRO, he is a world-renowned scholar who has studied cognitive neuroscience after studying mathematics and psychology.
While working as a professor of experimental cognitive psychology at the College de France, he has published a number of books on brain consciousness and has devoted a lot of effort to applying brain science to real life.
In an invited lecture, Professor Dehane introduced the results collected through fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) in detail, and explained how the brain function changes depending on how it is taught.
What he was interested in was reading education.
The brains of elementary school students, who started reading education, were scanned every two months for a year, and compared to the brains of illiterate adults.

And the fact that the ventral visual cortex and language areas in the brain are strengthened by reading, and the areas related to the parietal lobe further develop the areas dealing with visual and auditory concepts through the curriculum, and enhance cooperation between functions. Revealed.
What the professor paid special attention to was the'visual word form area (VWFA)'. This area is a part that plays a very important role in recognizing verbal words, and is developing functionally while children are teaching reading.
Consultation on treatment methods for incurable diseases such as autism:

In this'IBRO 2019', a number of research results related to incurable diseases that are difficult to treat are being published.
One of them is autism. Although the prevalence of this developmental disorder, which shows abnormal disorders in social communication, has recently increased significantly, there is no cure.
Professor Noriko Osumi of Japan's Tofuku University published research findings that decreased DNA methylation in older sperm could affect autism and advised the use of this as a preventive target.
Professor Mauro Costa-Mttioli of Baylor University in the U.S. published a study showing that a disorder in the intestinal plexus causes autism.
Prof. Yong-Seok Yong-Seok of Seoul National University reported that autism occurs due to problems with the excitatory nerve function of the brain. Suggested possibility.
As brain optics encompasses a wide range of fields, information communication is required between researchers. Professor Jan G. Bjaalie of the University of Oslo in Norway, for example in Europe, proposed a way to share information efficiently among brain scientists. Ⓒ Lee Kang-bong/ScienceTimes

'IBRO 2019', which will be held until the 25th, is revealing the results of new research conducted over the past four years. The symposium is being held over 40 sessions with 10 topics.
Among them, topics that can be of interest to the general public include identification of neural mechanisms that control emotional behavior, the role of astrocytes that influence brain health and disease, exploration and control techniques for understanding and control of brain function, and principles of compensation and pain. Many of them are included.
There are also various events related to brain science.
Brain Science Olympiad'International Briin Bee (IBB)', which is attended by high school students from over 30 countries, poster session with more than 1,500 papers published, luncheon seminar for female brain researchers, Young Researcher Training Program (YITP), Brain, a public lecture Programs such as Brain Show are in progress.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the people who study brain science cover almost all fields of the scientific world, including IT and nanoscience, as well as biologists and physiologists.
As such, close communication and cooperation between researchers working in the field of brain science are necessary. In this context, Professor Jan G. Bjaalie of the University of Oslo, Norway, took the European case and advised how to effectively share information among brain scientists.

IBRO first opened in 1982. The tournament was held twice in 1987, after which it is held once every four years. Korea hosted the 10th General Assembly through competition with Spain and China.
It is the second time since the 1995 General Assembly in Kyoto, Japan that IBRO has been held in Asia. This event is hosted by the Korean Society of Brain and Neuroscience and the Korea Brain Research Institute, and is co-hosted by the International Brain Science Organization and the Association of Asian-Oceanian Brain and Neuroscience Associations.
On the other hand, starting on the 22nd, starting with Shin Hee-seop, head of the Cognitive and Social Research Center at the Institute of Basic Sciences (IBS) in Korea, Dr. Stephen Hyman, a psychiatrist and neurobiologist at the Broad Institute in the United States, Erwin Neer, Professor Emeritus at the MaxFrank Institute of Biophysical Chemistry, Judy Ilis Lectures are followed by Professor of Neuroethics at the University of British Columbia, Professor Eric Nessler at the University of Mount Sinai, Professor Joseph Takahashi at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical University, and Professor Gerold Chun at the Sanford Burnham Institute of Medicine, USA.
