Neurophysiology

Neurophysiology is a part of physiologyas a science, which is concerned with the study of the nervous system. It is closely connected with psychology, neurology, clinical neurophysiology, electrophysiology, ethology, higher nervous activityand other sciences.

Surgical Neurophysiologists perform intraoperative neuromonitoringduring surgeries in which there is a high risk of damage to the nervous system. Such neurophysiologists should have basic training in neuroscience, electrophysiology, and anatomy. However, there is no required certification for performing surgical neurophysiology. There are certifications available, though, including the CNIM and ABNM.
