The present study analyzes the relationship between learning and neuroplasticity as a scientific basis for the optimization of educational processes, with the objective of understanding as the brain’s function influences in the acquisition of knowledge and in the improvement of pedagogical practices. It is based on the idea that the brain is a dynamic system capable of reorganizing continuously based on experience, what allows understand his learning as a process Active and adaptable. The methodology employee for this corresponds to an approach qualitative of a documentary type, supported in the review and analysis of literature published between 2010 and 2026, selecting sources academic reliable related to neuroplasticity, neuroeducation and cognitive processes. The main findings evidence that he learning this influenced by factors such as motivation, emotion, the environment and participation of active student, and that the use of methodologies active, multisensory stimulation, activity physics and technology favor strengthening of neuronal connections, allowing So improve the teaching and learning processes and promote an education further effective and inclusive.
