Neurological Notes on the Art of Educating

This manuscript has pulled together work that, in the author's opinion, has direct bearing on education. He has detailed the explicit references to this work in other contexts. Here, therefore, these other manuscripts are suggested as key primary references, together with some others that would serve in a similar fashion. The assumption is that a program of reading initiated in this fashion would acquaint the reader pretty well with all primary sources of current ferment and endeavor on this important and exciting frontier of knowledge,
