The neurological system is the bodily system that involves the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (other nerves in the body). All physicians study the fundamentals of the anatomy and functions of the brain and the mental processes. There are areas of medical specialization that focus on that body system in particular. Neurologists diagnose and treat neurological system disorders using medical treatments. They are the experts in the anatomy, physiology, and functions of the nervous system and mental processes. Neurosurgeons perform surgical procedures on the brain as well as other neurological (nerve) procedures. They study the brain and mental processes like neurologists do, as well as the intricate surgeries performed on the nervous system. Pediatric Neurosurgeons surgically treat infants and children with neurological system diseases and disorders as a more narrow subspecialty area of neurosurgery. "Mental Processes" could be expanded to include behavior, thinking, learning, personality, and psychological aspects of the mind as opposed to the brain. Expanding the scope of your question to include this would lead to the addition of Psychiatristsand Psychologists as specialists in the study of the brain, mind, behavior, and mental processes.
