520    "From an award-winning neuroscience researcher with twenty
       years of teaching experience, Multiple Pathways to the 
       Student Brain uses educator-friendly language to explain 
       how the brain learns. Steering clear of "neuro-myths," Dr.
       Janet Zadina discusses multiple brain pathways for 
       learning and provides practical advice for creating a 
       brain-compatible classroom. While there are an abundance 
       of books and workshops that aim to integrate education and
       brain science, educators are seldom given concrete, 
       actionable advice that makes a difference in the 
       classroom. Multiple Pathways to the Student Brain bridges 
       that divide by providing examples of strategies for day-to
       -day instruction aligned with the latest brain science. 
       The book explains not only the sensory/motor pathways that
       are familiar to most educators (visual, auditory, and 
       kinesthetic), it also explores the lesser known pathways--
       reward/survival, language, social, emotional, frontal lobe,
       and memory/attention--and how they can be tapped to 
       energize and enhance instruction. Educators are forever 
       searching for new and improved ways to convey information 
       and inspire curiosity, and research suggests that 
       exploiting different pathways may have a major effect on 
       learning. Multiple Pathways to the Student Brain allows 
       readers to see brain science through the eyes of a teacher
       --and teaching through the eyes of a brain scientist"--
