Viruses are "unique" and challenge the paradigms of science
Calafate, LuísThe history of the progress of scientific knowledge of viruses demonstrates that the tendency of researchers to get caught up in specific paradigms and theories about the causes of diseases does not allow them to see the threats of known and unknown pathogens (Honigsbaum, 2021). This is the case, for example, of the “germ theory” of the disease, presented by the German bacteriologist Robert Koch and his French ...

Neuronal basis of memory and learning: Comprehension before action
Paz, Marta; Calafate, LuísNeurosciences are an emerging area of scientific knowledge, whose goal is to contribute to a better knowledge of the brain. Due to the complexity of the object of study, it is primarily an interdisciplinary domain, integrating multiple scientific areas, such as biology, chemistry, medicine or psychology. This work results from bibliographic review on the subject of neurosciences and the neurological bases under...
Neuroeducation: building bridges between neuroscience and science learning
Costa, Paula Cristina Pereira; Calafate, LuísThe synergy between education and neuroscience, also called neuroeducation, cannot be achieved without obstacles and barriers, which arise from the ambition to articulate two languages, two theoretical fields and two effectively different research areas. Several studies have been carried out, however, the number of researches that specifically concern the brain mechanisms linked to science learning is still sma...
Some contributions from Neurosciences to Education: Do enriched environments in...
Calafate, Luís; Calafate, Sara CesarinyThe reflection and discussion on the role of genetic specification and experience in the acquisition of a function and in the development of an individual reflects a fascinating and very current debate among those working in the area of behavior and development. Concerning the development of human behavior and the influence of biological heritage and the envitonment, conflicting and sometimes exclusive position...
Editorial: Neuroscience and Education
Calafate, Luís; Rocha, RuteThis thematic issue intends to contribute to a critical reflection on the possible links to be established between Neuroscience and Education. The mental processes involved in learning phenomena have as substrate a complex biological system capable of performing them. Consequently, this issue of RevistaMultidisciplinar.com has chosen the brain as the target organ of our attention as educators and scientists, se...
Memory strategies in the teaching of the Digestive System: A contribution to it...
Cardoso, Alexandra; Ribeiro, Tiago; Calafate, LuísWe all are dependent on our memory on a daily basis. At school, students need to retain and remember the contents they learn. Studies about human memory demonstrate that several strategies can be employed for efficient and long-term memorization. In order to evaluate the impact of the use of memory strategies on the ability to retain information in the long-term memory, a study was carried out with students fro...
