Researchers challenge the "efficiency" theory of the brain, showing that neurons become more coordinated and share more information as learning occurs.

Most teachers who work in education today have studied — or at least are familiar with — VARK, a learning theory first introduced by Neil Fleming in 1987. VARK suggests that students can best ...
