This journal bridges awide variety of neuroscience findings and educationally relevant problems. Work in mind, brain, and education does not involve simply cutting away an appealing scientific finding and fitting it more or less to classroom practices. What is crucial in this research is a reciprocal relationship in which education informs biological research as much as biology informs educational research and practice. Laboratory research plays an important role in analyzing fundamental processes, but research in the settings of practice is key to translating basic findings to appropriate application. Additionally, there is little cross-citing of relevant neuroscience and education research. For instance, in education research journals on reading disorders there is little citing of neuroscience research on dyslexia, and there is a similar lack in neuroscience articles. MBE will be a crucial resource aimed at changing this unfortunate situation. Educators and scientists are calling for such connections in many ways, some productive and others relatively unsupported and ineffective. The recent spread of "Brain-Based" educational practices and the emphasis on "Research-Based" curricula are two examples of the need for a dynamic and respected peer-review resource in this important area. Strong research on mind, brain, and education requires tough-minded analysis of both behavior and brain, not easy speculations about brain-behavior relations. At the same time education cannot wait for neuroscience and cognitive science to mature to build such connections, just as medicine did not wait for biochemistry to mature before connecting to biology. Instead, educational practice and research can inform the biological and cognitive sciences. This journal will provide an impetus for scientifically solid, educationally relevant research connecting mind, brain and education, catalyzing the kinds of relationships that are essential to improving research-based practice in education.
