Resum

Developing the neural network of cognitive processes tends to be associated with the activity of the cerebral cortex. Despite this, the neurobiological development prior to the stabilization of this neuralpathway is determined by the activity and synchronization of subcortical structures. Its rationale is founded on the grounds that these structures are able to reorganize sensory activity and direct it towards cortical tar- gets associated with the learning of cognitive functions as well as the maintenance of the biological balance of the organism. Thus, a teaching method that is based on sensory stimuli and in the biological balance of the organism with the aim of developing cognitive processes is, undoubtedly, a very interesting pedagogical strategy. In other words, the improvement of sensory processes and the biological balance of the organism are essential for the bettering of cognitive functions. The advancement of this cortical network will begin with the simplest sensory neurobiological processes, those that develop innately throughout childhood. Since developing a cortical network involves a lot of effort and time, stimulating the senses through repetition, intensity and synchronization of simple sensory stimuli will be decisive in achievingdendritic growth, as well as an increase in the number of synaptic connections, which will significantly ease school learning.
