The subject areas of Psychology and Neurology that study the structure and function of brain relation to specific psychological processes, come under Neuropsychology. Hence, it’s a branch of psychology that helps us to understand the structure and functions of brain in view of learning. Its totally scientific in nature, however, overlaps few areas of philosophy of mind and psychiatry. It studies brain behaviour relationship and brain based learning. The human brain has approximately 100 billion neurons and the supportive cells are around one trillion. There are trillions of connections that brain make between neurons connecting various parts of the brain (Fierdorowicz, 2005). And, brain-based learning is based on the structure of the brain. Every person is born with a brain that functions just as a powerful processor (Jenson, 2007). Although learning is as natural as breathing for almost all the living beings, it can be inhibited or facilitated by experiences. Researches on brain provide us with many possibilities for education, be it for non-disabled or disabled. Brain-based learning adapts the learning style of each individual. This adaptability of the brain reinforces the fact that children have the capacity to change and grow cognitively. Educators need to combine the findings of brain research to improve their teaching techniques leading to inclusive education A popular saying favours the same: “The brain is what we have; the mind is how we use it”. In this paper the researcher tries to bring forth the theories and functions of the brain, the way it works and the areas wherein immediate intervention is required.
