In this article, we defend the argument that the research topic proposed by Freire, when narrowing the content-everyday life relationship, fosters knowledge reconstruction based on social and cultural memories. These memories, turned into emotionally competent stimuli, provide a teaching action that favors the expansion of knowledge and engrams and, thus, enables learners to transform reality. Therefore, we present Freirian ideas about the ontological needhumans have to develop critical awareness about their existential situations, based on thematic research. In this process, the aim is the existential awareness of the subjects, so that, distancing themselves from the situation they are in, they can develop it as an image, picture or slide on which to discuss, argue and challenge to transform. Following this educational attitude, we discuss the neurobiological bases, i.e. how the brain interprets, understands and grasps the information from the investigated contexts and present a few insights on emotionally appropriate stimuli and the learning process.
