Masters in Biology before Neuroscience Phd?

Well, my research experience is more cognitive-psychology based than neuroscience and has very little to do with neuropsychiatric disorders. So, in terms of program “fit” I’m concerned that will work against me & why I’m unsure if I should apply directly or not. I thought a masters in biology with thesis work on neuropsychiatric disorders would be a good idea?

I also considered working in a lab as a research assistant at a university but this will depend on available positions so, if I can’t find a lab to work in then maybe a masters is more reasonable?
