I agree with the answer Nias Answer but also talking to your counselor if you have one at your school or if you have any community colleges in your area or the college that you are planning on attending and speaking to 1 of their counselors on what you can do for extra courses in that field.

Maybe you can do an internship with a Neuroscience professor, help him with data analysis, editing a paper. Maybe do a rotation with a company in Intraoperative Neuromonitoring?

Niha’s Answer

If you are planning on going the medical route for neuroscience, I recommend following the pre med guidelines for high schoolers. That would include a high GPA, a decent amount of volunteering, doing something that shows interest in the medical field (shadowing, helping in a clinic, etc), and an extracurricular that shows off one stand out skill that you have (leadership, music, dance, etc).

Neuroscience can go one of two ways: medical or research, and if you want to do more research oriented work in college, I recommend seeing if there are ways to get involved in the research world in high school, either as a participant in research studies or as an intern/observer of people doing research.
