- The aim of this article was to identify the knowledge that a sample of high school students has about basic neuroscience and thus verify their scientific literacy in neurosciences. For this, a qualitative and descriptive research was carried out, through a case study at the Federal Center of Technological Education of Minas Gerais (CEFET-MG). The corpus of the study was 312 students, whose age range was between 14 and 18 years of both sexes. As data collection instruments, a questionnaire was used based on the Likert scale containing 15 questions applied to the students, who also made a drawing of their understanding of the human brain. With the results it can be concluded that the students' conception of the human brain structure varied within the same age group. Some have shown day-to-day conceptions and others have demonstrated more primitive scientific knowledge, which makes it possible to assert that students are sufficiently informed of how the human brain works but that they do not yet have specific domain of this knowledge. Teaching strategies are suggested to improve learning and knowledge in this biological area.
