Advances in neuroscience are providing dramatic new insights into the functioning of the brain and associated cognitive processes. Our current understanding of complexities of memory and learning systems is one example of an area in which there have been new insights, and in which there may be important implications for continuing medical education. Medical educators need to become familiar with these advances if they are to meet the needs of medical professionals requiring constant updating of their knowledge in medical science, in a health care delivery system that places increased demands on their professional time. It is through collaborative efforts by medical educators, cognitive neuroscientists, and computer scientists that this goal can be achieved.
