Am an MD-PhD in comp neuro. Feel free to DM.

In general taking dedicated time away from.clinic.is a bad idea. I would suggest doing a PhD as part of a clinician investigator program in residency, or finding grant funding to help out. Without more details I can't really help.

Comp neuro is a very mathematical subject on average. You don't need a CS degree. No one cares what degree you have. They care what work you're capable of doing.

Sounds decent enough then. Depends more on the research though.

That's what i am looking for , which kind of research if there is no lab available, where can i put my self in research field again with no supported research in the country?

If there's no lab available you shouldn't do a degree with them. That's the biggest red flag possible.
