How susceptible are you to ‘neuromyths’? Take the quiz and test your science knowledge.

Melting brain
Neurons

Are your neurons firing correctly? Have you fallen for widely believed ‘neuromyths’?

Once you are given your score, please leave a comment (and your score, if you are brave enough!) in the box at the bottom of this page.

Good luck!

My blog next week will discuss this topic, with a more detailed look at recent research on the widely believed myths about  the brain.

Leah is Assistant Head of Henleaze Junior School in Bristol. She has over 10 years teaching experience, with a further 10 year background in scientific research. She has first hand experience of the challenges faced by teachers and school leaders who have poor access to the evidence, few skills to read and appraise research and little or no time to spend keeping up to date. Here's hoping this blog can help!
