These are recombination efforts between specialties from different disciplines (and not between entire disciplinary fields), which face the challenge of working in an interdisciplinary way. Objective: The purpose of the article is to answer the research problem:  in the case of psychology, what consequences has neuroscience generated in its disciplinary territory? Methods: Two hypotheses were formulated to answer the problem. One of them, internal to the discipline, proposes to investigate possible redefinitions around the concept of social cognition. And the other one, external, verifies the reception that psychologists have given to social neuroscience. Three journals from three different psychological specialties were chosen to carry out the investigation in the period from 2000 to 2023: the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, representing social psychology, the Journal of Cognitive Psychology, cognitive psychology and the Neuropsychology Review, corresponding to the field of neuropsychology. The systematic analysis technique was used to elaborate a search protocol from some strings. Results: The two formulated hypotheses were not supported and, to account for this, some explanations were given, as well as new research hypotheses. Conclusions: Among the repercussions generated by the development of neuroscience in psychology, it seems that the external repercussions are felt within the discipline in a more visible way than an internal repercussion such as the reformulation around the concept of social cognition.}, issn = {2375-1924}, doi = {10.18103/mra.v11i6.3935}, url = {https://esmed.org/MRA/mra/article/view/3935} }
