neurologici

Neurologici is the plural masculine form of the Italian adjective neurologico, meaning related to the nervous system or to neurology. In medical Italian, neurologico describes anything pertaining to the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, or the discipline of neurology. It is used as a descriptive term in clinical and academic writing to classify findings, symptoms, or conditions within neurology.

In practice, neurologici appears in phrases such as disturbi neurologici (neurological disorders), sintomi neurologici (neurological symptoms), esami neurologici (neurological examinations), and imaging neurologici (neuroimaging). The feminine form is neurologiche, and the singular masculine form is neurologico. When used as an adjective, neurologici modifies a noun and is not a stand-alone noun for a medical practitioner. The corresponding noun for a doctor is neurologo (plural neurologi), not neurologici.

Etymology traces neurologico to the Greek neuron, meaning nerve, combined with the suffix -logico from -logia, meaning study or science. The term is common in clinical settings to distinguish neurological aspects from other medical fields. Related topics include neurology, neuroimaging, neurological examination, and neurological disorders.
