Introduction. The relevance of neurosciences research for promoting child development is recognized worldwide by policy makers, teachers and parents. However, it is essential that this highly specialized knowledge be interpreted and translated into concrete strategies and instruments to be applied at school, at home, and in specialized care settings for children with neurodevelopmental disorders (TND). Methods. A selection of the main results of neurodevelopment research is presented, published by the Cuban Neurosciences Center (CNEURO) in peer-reviewed journals. Results and Discussion.Behavioral and neuroimaging studies of the neurocognitive foundations of learning processes and academic achievement allowed for identifying risk indicators for TND and supporting the design of instruments for early detection, cognitive profiling and individualized attention of children. It is concluded that the results demonstrate the process of translation and application of scientific evidence into instruments and strategies for the protection of the nation’s mental capital and its integration into national health and education programs dedicated to early child care and education.
