Our brains are the most mutable parts of our bodies, and we can augment our brains by the way we use them each day. A strong memory is vital to an individual’s learning, therefore this paper will pay close attention to the neurological components of memory as well as other factors related to motivation and emotion. I will discuss the various brain structures and the molecular processes that are related to learning in order to better understand our cognition and memories that assist in the accumulation of knowledge. It is essential to focus on specific systems of the mind to understand the neural basis of learning through extensive research. This paper will examine the rewarding effects of knowing the neuroscience behind learning and injecting behavior modifications into our daily routines to maximize learning potential at the neurological level.
