Abstract

In the following lines we want to make stand out the significance that the interconnection between Pedagogy and Neuroscience will take in the future. For it, we start from the definition of the actual Pedagogy as a strictly mentalist discipline - opposed to cerebral- and it's exposed the situation, inverse in Neuroscience, of the mental conception of the human being face to the cerebral conception. In conclusion, it points the inexcusable necessity that the investigation made in the Pedagogy Sections should be orientated, in part, to explain the connection between Education ans Nervous System. Sooner o later, either the Pedagogy or the Education will cease to belong to mentalism. Both (Pedagogy and Education) will be designed, not in function of the programs and mental phenomena, but from the admission that only the functional properties of the Nervous System make possible Education and delimit it.
