Answer 1

The correct answer is:

**a physician who treats physical disorders of the nervous system.**

Neurologists are medical doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. While they may also be involved in the evaluation of mental health conditions from a neurological perspective, their primary focus is on the physical aspects of the nervous system.
