I found Neuromatch's coursebooks helpful.
Here's the Comp NeuroSci one:

Here's the NeuroAI one:
neuroai.neuromatch.io

AND! @incforg.bsky.social has some solid study tracks. From CN basics to something like neuroinformatics:

Excited to be at the hybrid satellite symposium to the JNS2025, "Connecting Digital Brains Across the World". The digitization of science has a huge effect on neuroscience to support more sustainable, shareable and re-useable research.
