Learning motivation is a key factor in achieving educational success. Neuroscience, which studies the workings of the brain, provides a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that influence individual motivation in learning. This knowledge opens opportunities to design more effective learning methods to enhance student motivation. This study aims to explore the role of neuroscience in improving learning motivation through a brain mechanism-based approach and relevant neurobiological factors. This research uses a literature review approach. Data were obtained from various scientific journals, articles, and books relevant to this topic. A qualitative analysis was then conducted regarding recent studies examining the relationship between neuroscience and learning motivation. The findings indicate that understanding the impact of dopamine, stress, and neuroplasticity in the brain can help design learning environments that support student motivation. The application of techniques such as neuromodulation and gamification has proven to significantly increase student engagement, directly impacting intrinsic motivation and learning outcomes
