Oakland, Calif. - March 12, 2012 - "Inside Jersey" magazine
has named Scientific
Learning Corp. (NASDAQ:SCIL) co-founder Dr. Paula
Tallal one of the Garden State's 20 "
biggest brains." A cognitive neuroscientist and
board-certified clinical psychologist, Tallal was awarded
the designation for her part in creating the company's Fast ForWord®
family of educational software products, which the magazine
lauded for the capacity to "help improve reading skills for
the learning disabled by as much as two grade levels and in
as little as six to 12 weeks."

"Inside Jersey" regularly highlights innovations and
achievements by New Jersey residents, and lists the state's
best resources and professionals within specific
categories. For the "biggest brain" list, also dubbed the
"N.J. Brainpower List," the criteria were creativity and
the achievement of significant innovations in their fields.
Tallal shares list membership with, among others, a
physician who invented a new DNA test for tuberculosis, a
chemical engineer who pioneered a lab technique that could
hasten the engineering of replacement organs for transplant
patients, and the winner of the 2002 Fields Medal, the
highest honor in mathematics.

The development of the Fast ForWord program is based on
neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to reorganize itself
in response to new experiences, as well as the science of
how the brain learns and retains information. The software
utilizes these neuroscience principles to exercise and
develop the brain's processing efficiency, which is
essential for academic learning and reading success.

Tallal is the founder and co-director of the Center for
Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience  at the
Rutgers-Newark campus of Rutgers, the State University of
New Jersey, one of the nation's most distinguished public
research universities. She also is a co-director of the
Temporal Dynamics of Learning Center (TDLC), one of six
National Science Foundation Science of Learning Centers.
Tallal was selected by the Library of Congress to be the
Commentator for the Field of Psychology at its Bicentennial
Celebration and earned the Thomas Alva Edison Patent Prize
for her work leading to the development of the Fast ForWord
software.
