Educational neuroscience is more than the basic science of reading and math, and its translational potential extends far beyond the knowledge, and misconceptions, that have made their way into the classroom so far. Thomas, Ansari, and Knowland synthesize progress in educational neuroscience and set out an ambitious set of goals for its future. Their conceptualization of the field encourages scientists across disciplines to think about how their work can inform a more holistic understanding of how the brain shapes learning, and how learning shapes the brain.
