Title: Brain Neuroscience – Dopamine opens the doors

Recipe Labs: stress, boredom, confusion, low motivation, and anxiety can interfere with learning. Sensory input is blocked from entering the cortical areas of memory storage that lie beyond the amygdala

Inquiry Labs: Frontal lobe involvement
Neuronal circuits going from the limbic system (emotional center) into the frontal lobe and other parts of the brain are rich in dopamine receptors that are activated by this dopamine release (Nader et al. 2002).
Many of the strategies teachers use to engage students in learning have been demonstrated to activate this dopamine release (Wunderlich et al. 2005)

Title: Brain Neuroscience –
What turns on dopamine?
"With students' brains turned to the ideal state of activation, the speed and efficiency of information flowing through the filter to the learning centers of the brain is optimal.“ Willis, J (2007)
