thread_title: More emphasis

message: I'm changing that part about some US medical schools admitting students after 2 years of undergraduate.  I've never heard of any such schools, no such schools are cited, and even if it's true it is of vanishing significance to anyone who wants to know about the education required to become a neurologist.  For all intents and purposes, it takes 12 years of post-secondary education to become a neurologist, and the article should reflect that. 71.72.97.136 (talk) 15:14, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Neurology#Field of work needs a cleanup.  The list of "major" conditions has no evident structure, redundant content, and perhaps should be replaced by a link to :Category:Neurology.  This is the section where the difference between a neurologist and a neurosurgeon, and how these specialties work together, should be explained.  --Una Smith (talk) 14:57, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: good point - it is simply a smaller list than that found at the page list of neurological disorders. I'll change it. Amaher (talk) 10:43, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

message: If Neurology is the studying of the nerves and Phisiology is the studying of the phisical part of living creatures. Then doesn't Neurology become a sub-category of Phyisiology ? Alan347 (talk) 18:46, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is Neurology a part of Phisiology ? 

message: Does Neurology study the nervous system per se. or only its disorders ?
" is a medical specialty dealing with disorders of the nervous system. Specifically, it deals with the diagnosis and treatment of all categories of disease involving the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems, "

replies: text: Neurology is a branch of medicine -- the term for the study of the nervous system is neuroscience.  The general public frequently confuses the two, but people in the fields are very consistent in using the words this way. Looie496 (talk) 00:46, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I had the same question. I accept your response, but I think it should be included in the article. Perhaps a sentence (at the end of the intro?) such as "Neurology is the medical application of neuroscience which is the (general?) study of the nervous system."

text: The study of the nervous system is neuroscience.  Neurology is specifically a branch of medicine.  The two are frequently confused, but that doesn't mean that we should do it. Looie496 (talk) 03:01, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

message: I have removed the average salary figure as it is not cited and is very ambigous. The salary varies greatly from country to country, among other things. --62.57.165.141 (talk) 18:47, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

message: With all due respect for Dr. Joseph Martin, his assertion  "And the fact [sic] that the brain and mind are one makes the separation artificial anyway", cited in this article, seems to be based on personal belief, rather than hard scientific facts, and therefore it has no place in an article dealing with science.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.108.26.99 (talk) 14:51, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Neurology vs. Psychiatry 

message: I think this title/term should be changed (to "Neurological enhancement" or "Neurology for enhancement purposes" or "Augmentative neurology", for example). The word "cosmetic" refers to appearances, while the topic itself is about improving brain function. If someone had severe depression, would we consider that a "cosmetic" problem? --Rbwilli (talk) 22:14, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

message: doi:10.1136/practneurol-2013-000597 - quite an overlap, quoting Conan Doyle and Sacks. JFW | T@lk 16:06, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Affinity with detective novels 

message: To quote the Wikiproject Neuroscience page, "The history of neuroscience will also be an area of focus. The progress of theories and ideas is important to understanding current scientific thinking. This includes "History" sections in articles, biography articles, articles on refuted theories, and articles about historical institutions. For people interested specifically in contributing to the history of neuroscience content, visit this page." I think one hugely important thing this article is lacking is a section on the history of the practice of neurology. We would need to answer the questions: when did neurology develop as a field? who are the founders of the field? and when did it enter mainstream culture?
