5. What do I need to know?
Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to change in response to the environment, and this is what neuroscientists mean when they talk about learning.
The brain is constantly changing thanks to neuroplasticity, and therefore it is constantly learning, no matter the age of the brain.
Memories are stored across complex networks in the brain, rather than in a single location.

7. There are three stages to long-term memory:
 encoding information that is received from the outside world, 
storage of that information through consolidation,
and retrieval of the stored information.
Memories can be changed, and even the act of recalling a piece of information can result in a change to the memory.
Working memory involves keeping information in mind and actively rehearsing it. It is essential to allow information to move into long-term memory.
Sensory memory is very short-term, and stores information based on sensory input before it enters into working memory.
