In order to stimulate and promote the development of humanity, Alfred Bernhard Nobel, in his will, established with his fortune a fund with which the best exponents in Literature, Physiology or Medicine, Physics, Chemistry and Peace would be rewarded. Over the years, awardees have come from various fields related to physiology and medicine. This review was motivated by the large number of Nobel Prize winners in Medicine and Physiology in the neuroscientific field. Despite there being numerous publications about this award, there are few that specifically deal with neuroscience, so it was decided to briefly describe it. the Nobel Prizes that were awarded to this branch of medicine, highlighting those that were considered most important by the authors and mentioning the others.
