==History== {{main|History of neurology}} The academic discipline began between the 15th and 16th centuries with the work and research of many neurologists such as [[Thomas Willis]], [[Robert Whytt]], [[Matthew Baillie]], [[Charles Bell]], [[Moritz Heinrich Romberg]], [[Duchenne de Boulogne]], [[William A. Hammond]], [[Jean-Martin Charcot]], [[C. Miller Fisher]] and [[John Hughlings Jackson]]. Neo-Latin ''neurologia'' appeared in various texts from 1610 denoting an anatomical focus on the nerves (variably understood as vessels), and was most notably used by Willis, who preferred Greek νευρολογία.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Janssen|first=Diederik F|date=2021-04-10|title=The etymology of 'neurology', redux: early use of the term by Jean Riolan the Younger (1610)|journal=Brain|volume=144|issue=4|language=en|pages=awab023|doi=10.1093/brain/awab023|pmid=33837748|issn=0006-8950|doi-access=free}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Mehta|first1=Arpan R|last2=Mehta|first2=Puja R|last3=Anderson|first3=Stephen P|last4=MacKinnon|first4=Barbara L H|last5=Compston|first5=Alastair|date=2021-04-10|title=Reply: The etymology of 'neurology', redux: early use of the term by Jean Riolan the Younger (1610)|journal=Brain|volume=144|issue=4|language=en|pages=awab024|doi=10.1093/brain/awab024|pmid=33837768|pmc=7610959|issn=0006-8950}}</ref>
