Neurological Surgeon
A Neurological Surgeon is a physician that operates on the central and peripheral nervous system. They include congenital abnormalities, tumors, and infections. They do not just work on the brain. As a neurosurgeon, you can either work with pediatrics or adults and they do not always need to perform surgical care.
