This invention relates to the field of cell biology, specifically to a co-culture cell model and method for primary glial cells and neurons. The method for co-culturing primary glial cells and neurons provided by this invention includes the following steps: a mixture of primary glial cells and neurons is seeded into a first co-culture medium for pre-culture; the medium is discarded and the cells are washed; a second co-culture medium is added for a first-stage culture; after the first-stage culture, a second-stage culture is performed; the medium used in the second-stage culture is a third co-culture medium supplemented with macrophage colony-stimulating factor; after the second-stage culture, a third-stage culture is performed; the medium used in the third-stage culture is the second co-culture medium; in the obtained co-culture cell model, microglia are differentiated and mature, and are in a quiescent state, thus obtaining a primary glial cell and neuron co-culture model.
