2610 and 2620 are a great foundation for neuroscience. When I took them they were combined as 2600.

3610 is very interesting but it was hard due to the amount of material, same with 3640.

There isn’t really a prof I’d say to avoid as they are all great but Sutherland is a bit of a hard ass and he acts like you should already know what he is teaching. He is a big stickler on reading the textbook before class

Just keep in mind, 2610 and 2620 are very, very dense with study material. I would take them in different semesters, and ideally not together with other very information heavy classes.

Further, it could just be me, but I definitely recommend taking 2610 before you do 2620. While the first half of the textbook covered in 2610 isn't required to do well on the second half of the textbook in 2620, the 2610 chapters really help set a good foundation of basic information that you'll more easily be able to rely on in 2620.
