There is no one way to become a neuroscientist. You can pursue research in Neurology, Neurosurgery, Emergency Medicine, Rehabilitation and Physical Medicine, Psychiatry.... In any case, I feel that physicians (who have learned much about all parts of the body, physiology, anatomy, diagnostics, etc.) are in the ideal position to work on research that really matters to their patients. I do not know the Hungarian medical and research systems, but I imagine you would be well-served by finding mentors who are already successful in the field. Working in a lab with such people gives you the "in" to learning how to write research grants, do good quality research, get things published, and develop your own career in the area. What give you joy? What neurologic problems need solving that interest you? I have friends who study neuroscience in the areas of hypoxia-ischemia, trauma, adverse life experiences, genetics, epilepsy... Work to discover what motivates you...
