Abstract

Neurosciences are an emerging area of scientific knowledge, whose goal is to contribute to a better knowledge of the brain. Due to the complexity of the object of study, it is primarily an interdisciplinary domain, integrating multiple scientific areas, such as biology, chemistry, medicine or psychology. This work results from bibliographic review on the subject of neurosciences and the neurological bases underlying cognitive processes, addressing the processes involved in the construction of memory, learning or attention. It also presents possible bridges between neurosciences and education and neurosciences and artificial intelligence.
