Brain rules

Most of us have the slightest idea of what is going on in our minds, while specialized scientists studying the brain have revealed details that every manager, parent, and teacher must be aware of. Among those details is the brain's need for physical activities to function better. How do we learn? How do sleep and stress specifically affect our brains? And why is performing many tasks at the same time considered impossible? Why do we forget easily and why should we repeat what we have recently learned? Does the male brain really differ from the female brain? John Medina, a molecular biologist, in his book titled "Brain Rules," shows how the sciences of studying the brain, which have been the focus of his interest throughout his life, can influence the way we teach our children as well as how we work.
