Educational Neuroscience is a vast field of knowledge. It incorporates strategies related to the human brain, educational psychology and teaching-learning sciences. It aims to apprehend the role and influence of neurosciences in the pedagogical context. Provides support for decision-making processes related to the development of skills, which are essential for professionals in the health area. Processes should consider available scientific evidence, which can be summarized through a literature review. Current studies present as limitations the non-approach to the use of Educational Neuroscience in the context of teaching-learning in health courses. A Scope Review was carried out aimed at identifying studies that addressed the use of Educational Neuroscience in the teaching-learning context in courses in the field of Health. Ten different search strategies were employed using descriptors related to neuroscience, the teaching-learning process and health in seven databases that should make up the title section manuscripts available in full, in Portuguese or English. The final sample is composed of 15 manuscripts, which addressed the use of Educational Neuroscience in the form of an essay (one), review articles (six) and experimental studies (eight), covering only Medicine and Biomedicine courses. Part of the results is used to structure a conceptual framework for teachers and/or researchers. The reduced number of recovered manuscripts highlights the need, especially in the national territory, for new didactic-pedagogical approaches in the light of Educational Neuroscience, aiming at training professionals with excellence.
