For neuroscience you'll need a heavy dose of basic biology, anatomy and physiology. Also, chemistry and statistics will be needed.

Don't know about computer coding...

Are you in high school or undergraduate school? That has a huge impact on the electives you should take.

Computer science requires as much math (calculus, combinatorics, linear algebra, those are nice to know about, though probably not mandatory) as you can get and sufficient English to read code, examples, and documentation. Oh yeah, and you should probably also think that coding is the most fun in the world. If you don't, computer science is a lost cause.
