Introduction: Thanks to advanced imaging devices, the rapid growth of neurosciences and identification of various functions in different parts of the brain has lead to new perspectives open in a variety of sciences. This paper outlines the prospects for integrating findings of neuroscience and education. Methods: This paper is the outcome of a non-systematic review through searching scientific databases such as Science Direct and Springer and search engines such as Google as well as library sources. Main key terms in our search were neuroeducation, bridging education, and neuroscience. Results: Although methods to achieve results in neuroscience and education are significantly different and combination of the findings of these two fields may appear difficult, the emergence of a new interdisciplinary field seems to be possible in the future. Conclusion: The findings of neuroscience have generated new insights to education professionals. The results of educational psychologists’ studies as well, have placed new questions and study fields to neuroscientists. Closer scientific cooperation between experts of these two fields may lead to promising findings that can affect human life

Keywords: Neuroscience, neuroeducation, education.
