The integration of Neuroscience knowledge in teacher formation is a challenge that must be assumed based on its pertinence for achieving better professional performance in the face of the challenges of inclusive education. The aim of this work is to propose a set of themes for the formation of Infant Education professionals on the relations between neurosciences and education. For this purpose, methods were applied at the theoretical level, such as analysis-synthesis, induction-deduction, content analysis, and modeling; at the empirical level: documentary analysis, observation, and the interview. For the tabulation of information, descriptive statistics was used. The integration of the results made it possible to make assessments of the existing strengths and weaknesses in this field. The proposal includes suggestions for the integration of diverse topics with subjects of the curriculum in the initial formation of the careers of Infant Education, its evaluation by means of integrating exercises and the realization of a course as a postgraduate response to the problems that persist in the training of teachers in exercises and the elaboration of a basic text with the systematization of the main contents of the neurosciences that contribute to inclusive education. As results the integration of the topics into the Special Education career formation curriculum was obtained, an increase in the quality of the integrating exercises with 90% of students with 5-mark evaluations, and the training of 14 teachers who reported high levels of satisfaction.
