neuropathological
Concerning diseased nerves
Neuropathological describes what relates to diseases or abnormalities of the nervous system, particularly as examined through tissue analysis.
The term appears in medical and research contexts: neuropathological findings in Alzheimer's patients, neuropathological examination of brain tissue.
A neuropathological study investigates structural changes in neural tissue to understand disease processes.
