Abstract Education and learning are profoundly based on the understanding of the physiological function of human brain and the fast development in modern biology，physiology，neurology and cognitive science greatly promotes the theory and practice of education. Bio-education is defined as a cross-disciplinary study which merges biological science with educational science，i.e.，a study on human educational process and its general principle with reference to biology，neurophysiology，neuropsychology，and brain science. The subjects of the study in bio-education are human beings，and in particular children and adolescents，who are in the stage of receiving education，fast growth and develop-ment. Methodologically，bio-education applies the research tools of anatomy，cytology，histomorphology，physiology，electrophysiology，biochemistry，molecular biology，behaviouristics，sociology，pedagogy，and brain imaging，etc.，to study the law of development of human and human brains，to seek the best educational approaches and，to facilitate the teamwork between relevant disciplines.
