The branch of medicine and biology that studies the brain, its structure, function, and diseases.
From Greek enkephalos (brain) + -logia (study of, discourse about), literally meaning 'the study of the brain.'
Encephalology is an older term for what we now call neurology—it shows that people have been trying to scientifically understand the brain for centuries.
