Half A Brain Is Enough is the moving and extraordinary story of Nico, a little boy who at the age of three was given a right hemispherectomy to control intractable epilepsy. Antonio Battro, a distinguished neuroscientist and educationalist, charts what he calls Nico's 'neuroeducation' with humour and compassion in an intriguing book which is part case history, part meditation on the nature of consciousness and the brain, and part manifesto. Throughout the book Battro combines the highest standards of scientific scholarship with a warmth and humanity that guide the reader through the intricacies of brain surgery, neuronal architecture and the application of the latest information technology in education, in a way that is accessible and engaging as well as making a significant contribution to the current scientific literature. Half A Brain Is Enough will be compulsory reading for anyone who is interested in the ways we think and learn.

The emerging field of neuroeducation, concerned with the interaction between mind, brain and education, has proved revolutionary in educational research, introducing concepts, methods, and technologies into many advanced institutions around the world. The Educated Brain presents a broad overview of the major topics in this new discipline: Part I examines the historical and epistemological issues related to the mind/brain problem and the scope of neuroeducation; Part II provides a view of basic brain research in education and use of imaging techniques, and the study of brain and cognitive development; and Part III is dedicated to the neural foundations of language and reading in different cultures, and the acquisition of basic mathematical concepts. With contributions from leading researchers in the field, this book features the most recent and advanced research in cognitive neurosciences.

人腦的發育進程從胎兒期一直持續到青少年期和成年早期，從出生時彌散性的神經網絡逐漸形成獨立且功能專一的神經網絡，特定文化經驗與教育發揮了巨大的作用。兒童青少年期，人腦所具有的這種強大的可塑性與適應性，使得教育可以塑造腦的結構與功能。因此，語言、數學、道德、音樂、美術、體育、舞蹈等學校教育活動在人的生命歷程中發揮了重要的作用。本書主要內容涉及語言、閱讀、早期腦損傷、學習障礙、基因、社會認知、晚期關鍵期、遺傳學、經驗與遺傳的交互作用等，從語言與閱讀、學習與教學、遺傳學與學習、發展中的大腦四個方面，闡述了人腦的結構與功能的可塑性。
