In recent years, neurobiology has produced the cellular foundations that account for the phenomena of memory and learning in mammals. Nevertheless, this information has not always been applied to educational processes. Our paper reviews the information regarding the cellular processes underlying learning and how these may impact or explain didactic processes, forcing us to rethink current paradigms.
