<p>Neuroscience contributes to the establishment of Psychology as a science and profession based on the biopsychosocial panorama and empirically supported, since its objects of study are intrinsically related. This study aimed to verify and characterize the teaching of obligatory neuroscience classes in the curriculum of Psychology courses in Latin America. A documental study was conducted in the websites of Latin-American Higher Education Institutions, collecting: titles, summary, objectives and contents of identified compulsory classes. The <em>corpus</em> was analyzed through Thematic Analysis. The subjects of the offered disciplines were: basic psychological processes, human anatomophysiology, biological bases of behavior, psychopharmacology and neuropsychology. The analysis showed that it predominates the teachings of biological substrates of behavior and transmission of fundamental and basic knowledge of the biological dimension. The results suggest that neuroscience is taught to future psychology professionals based on general knowledge with limited or none application to the work context and health demands of Latin American Psychology.</p>
