| Neurological Surgeon | a physician who performs surgery on the nervous system |
| Neurologist | a physician who diagnoses and treats disorders of the nervous system |
| Neuropathologist | studies diseases of the nervous system |
| Neuropharmacologist | studies the action of drugs on the nervous system and/or behavior |
| Neuropsychologist | studies brain-behavior relationships (especially cognitive functions) in humans |
| Neurophysiologist | studies the physiology of the nervous system. |
| Physiological Psychologist | (also known as a Psychobiologist or Biological Psychologist) studies the neural basis of behavior |
| Psychiatrist | a physician who diagnoses and treats mental disorders |
