A lot of people would be interested in neuroscience / neurobiology, I think. (Me included, at least if it goes beyond the very basics like "neurons are connected via axons and dendrites and there are these action potentials".)

I'm actually considering this as a career, so a good sequence post(s) about it and/or some links to useful reference books would be greatly appreciated.

I want to learn neuro too, and I second the request to go more in depth than the very basics. Anyone who knows about vision, in particular, please, please, talk about that.

I would definitely be interested in that. (I recently took a look at back exams from a friend's neuroscience class and realized how little knowledge I actually have on the subject.)
