There are 3 possible answers, but only if you remove a word:
answer 1
EXPERTS INDICATED THAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE BRAIN AND MEMORY IS IMPORTANT FOR LIFELONG LEARNING.
Answer 2
EXPERTS INDICATED THAT KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE BRAIN AND MEMORY IS IMPORTANT FOR LIFELONG LEARNING.
Answer 3
EXPERTS INDICATED THAT KNOWING ABOUT THE BRAIN AND MEMORY IS IMPORTANT FOR LIFELONG LEARNING.
In answers 2 and 3- you would have to remove the word "to"
by the way - knowledge is spelled like this and not like you wrote above!

I agree with Lancillotta and libertybelle that you have to use "know" with to, but I honestly prefer "knowledge" (without the to). In this context, "to know" sounds awkward and stilted. "Knowing" is a solid second choice. "To know" is grammatically correct, but just doesn �t sound right to me. I can �t speak for libertybelle, but my guess is that she agrees with me and that �s why she included the other statements. |

As there is already "to" in the sentence, the only possible answer is "know" and as a native speaker it doesn �t sound stilted at all to me. Janet |
