Neurophysiology is a part of physiology. Physiology (from Greek grc φύσις physis, "nature origin" and grc -λογία -logia) is the study of the mechanical physical Neurophysiology is the study of nervous system function. The nervous system is a Network of specialized cells that communicate information about an animal's surroundings and itself Primarily, it is connected with neurobiology, psychology, neurology, clinical neurophysiology, electrophysiology, ethology, neuroanatomy, cognitive science and other brain sciences. Neurobiology is the study of cells of the Nervous system and the organization of these cells into functional circuits that process information and mediate behavior Psychology (from Greek grc ψῡχή psȳkhē, "breath life soul" and grc -λογία -logia) is an Academic and Clinical neurophysiology is a medical speciality that studies the central and peripheral nervous systems through the recording of bioelectrical activity whether spontaneous Electrophysiology (from Greek grc ἥλεκτρον ēlektron, "amber" the [[Electron#Etymology|etymology of "electron"]] grc φύσις Ethology ( from Greek ἦθος ethos, "character" and λόγος logos, "knowledge") is the scientific study of Animal Neuroanatomy is the science for localizing function in the Human brain. Cognitive science may be broadly defined as the multidisciplinary study of mind and behavior

Surgical neurophysiology

Surgical Neurophysiology is an applied subfield of neuroscience. A surgical neurophysiologist may work as a researcher at a university, or as a member of a surgical team in the surgical suite or operating room (OR). In the OR, he or she is involved with the functional monitoring of neural structures and neural systems with the aim of safe guarding the nervous system of the patient. The nervous system is a Network of specialized cells that communicate information about an animal's surroundings and itself He or she may also facilitate the surgical procedure by performing electrophysiological assays to identify neural structures. These intraoperative roles are termed neuromonitoring. The scientific practice of neuromonitoring takes place in the surgical suite (OR Neuromonitoring is of great benefit to a patient undergoing any of a wide variety of surgeries -- generally, any surgery in which:

1. there is a high risk of damage to the nervous system, and/or
2. the procedure requires functional guidance. The nervous system is a Network of specialized cells that communicate information about an animal's surroundings and itself

Surgical neurophysiologists are trained in neuroscience, electrophysiology, and anatomy. Neuroscience is a field devoted to the scientific study of the nervous system Electrophysiology (from Greek grc ἥλεκτρον ēlektron, "amber" the [[Electron#Etymology|etymology of "electron"]] grc φύσις Anatomy (from the Greek anatomia, from ana separate apart from and temnein, to cut up cut open is a branch of Biology that is the consideration The specialised skills and judgment needed to perform neuromonitoring are almost always obtained through a fellowship or mentoring in the OR. The specialised knowledge may be obtained similarly, or formally, and some in the field have a D.O., M.D., Ph.D., ScD and AuD. Doctor of Medicine ( MD or MD, from the Latin Medicinæ Doctor meaning "Teacher of Medicine" is a doctoral "PhD" redirects here for other uses see PhD (disambiguation. DSc ScD SD, or DrSc are common abbreviations for the Latin Scientiæ Doctor, meaning Doctor of Science. The Doctor of Audiology (AuD is an entry-level first professional degree for an Audiologist. Two stages of credentialing exist: the technologist level CNIM [1], and the professional level D. ABNM ^[1]
