A. The model shows how the brain orchestrates the development of children mental abilities, from birth to 10 years, when children become autonomous thinkers; Education develops mental abilities (branches of the Stars) by interactig with the Growing Brain (Centers, Focus in Figure B))

This model aims to inspire parents and teachers, to design long-term educative strategies for children to progress fully in the world of the Web and AI, learning to pilot the Web and AI wisely.

B. The main originality of this model is to provide a unified view of the developing brain and mind

The Brain Atlas s a Sphere. , The surface of the Sphere is the Cerebral Cortex, the Intelligent part of the brain. The Cortex as a slow Maturation which orchestrates the progressive acquisition of Skills by Children.

We synthetize a large variety of brain iamging results by viewing the Atlas of the Cortex, our brain Planet, as made of Rings and Arcs, very similar to the Parallels and Meridians of our Planet Earth. The Cortex Maturation can be simply described along these Rings and Arcs.

C. Columns compose the Mind symphonies

The Cortical Rings are composed of Cortex Columns, the building blocks of Intelligence. Columns are neuronal teams of 100 neurons, and 1 million synapses.

Active Columns are the musicians of the Brain Orchestra. They play by interacting with the World, in the Center of the Spere. Thinking is the symphonic music produced by Cortex Columns.

Learning Columns are the composers of the Mind symphonies . They learn increasingly elaborate Composition Guides to compose gestures, mental representations (of people, animals, etc), compose words and sentences, compose reasoning , analysis and synthesis, compose social rules. The maturation of the Atlas during 10 years orchestrates the Progression of mental abilities from sensorymotor areas (in green) to Prefrontal areas (red arrow). Learning transforms biological Columns into mental abilities thanks to synaptic plasticity organized by proteins chains and powered by neuromodulators.

D. The Model specifies a Multicale Table of Key-Resources to learn at all 4 levels of brain organization: all need education

• (1) the spherical brain Atlas, the network of Cortex areas, is organized in Rings which orchestrates the progression of skills :

  such as the Ring of SensoryMotor Adaptations, the Language Ring, the Ring of Mental Piloting.

• (2) the Columns of the Cortex are the neural processing units responsible for increasingly elaborate mental operations such as Problem Solving, Sentence composition, Reasoning and Planing. Analysis and Synthesis.

• (3) the Neuromodulators such as Dopamine, responsible of attractions and priorities of children desires, are the energies of Personality; their dynamic explain how parents and teachers can orient the priorities desires toward progression of abilities; it also helps to understand the powerful Estrogen-Androgen Alliance of Girls ad Boys.

• (4) the main Proteins of synaptic plasticity are responsible for learning are playing together like a micro-orchestra with molecular musicians and dancers , explaining the choregraphy of short-term and long term memory, and the improvisation of new creative messages;

How the brain and education work together to advance children's intelligence ?
