My d has considered almost the exact same question. I strongly suggest you try to get some sort of lab/research experience, possibly over the summer, to determine if that is something you would want to spend your life doing. I believe the deadline for applying for paid internships for this coming summer have pretty much already passed, but you could do an online search in your area and personally contact someone to see if they would like some “free” assistance during the summer…

I believe med school is a much longer road as you would need to do 4 years of med school and then general rotations BEFORE you would do a neurology rotation/residency. Also, I imagine med school admissions are much more competitive…
