Depends on the campus; look up “change major neuroscience [campus]”.

However, it is possible that, at some campuses, psychology is a more capacity-limited major than neuroscience, so applying to the psychology major, if the campus or division admits by major, may reduce the chance of admission.

Extracurriculars that do not match the intended major are common. For example, sports is a common extracurricular, but most college students are not athletes or academically studying athletics or exercise related subjects. Scouting is another common extracurricular, but most scouting participants may find only a minor at most overlap between scouting activities and their intended college majors.
