04-001-US The Future of Learning (Part 1)

But what happens in our brain during online learning? What biochemical processes take place here and which areas of the brain are involved? We now want to find answers to these questions. Let's start with the biochemical processes.

Biochemical processes. There are no specific biochemical processes in the brain that are exclusively associated with online instruction. However, the basic neurobiological mechanisms that occur in learning and memory formation are also relevant to online instruction. Some important processes that take place in the brain during learning are as follows. Neurotransmitter. During learning, chemical messengers known as neurotransmitters are released. These are responsible for communication between neurons. Some important neurotransmitters related to learning and memory are dopamine, serotonin, acetylcholine and glutamate. Long-term potentiation (LTP). LTP is a process in which the synaptic connection between neurons is strengthened when they are activated simultaneously. It is a fundamental mechanism for the formation and storage of memories and is mediated by the release of neurotransmitters such as glutamate. Neuroplasticity . This is the brain's ability to change and restructure based on experience and learning. Neuroplasticity allows the brain to make new connections between neurons or strengthen existing ones to store and retrieve new information. Myelination. Myelination is the process by which myelin sheaths are formed around axons of neurons. These sheaths serve as insulation and increase the speed of signal
