MatLab is a general purpose scientific computing tool, and will be useful in virtually any subfield of neuroscience. I can't think of any product I have ever used that is as thoroughly documented as MatLab. MatLab is also a great language to learn, because it is EXTREMELY well documented. The two best languages for neuroscience are definitely either MatLab or Python, with MatLab being more commonly used in my experience. It is very common to have only one (or ZERO) people in a lab who have significant programming skills. That is largely because nobody else in my lab has the necessary programming skills to do certain kinds of analyses, so there is a lot for me to do. I'm a current neuroscience grad student, close to obtaining my PhD.
