* Neural-: Similar to "neuro," meaning "relating to nerves or the nervous system." Examples include neural network, neural pathway, and neuralgia.
* Suffixes:

* -neural: This suffix indicates something related to nerves or the nervous system. Examples include neuralgia (nerve pain) and neuromuscular (relating to nerves and muscles).

Important Note: It's worth noting that "myo" and "neuro" are often combined to describe structures or processes involving both muscles and nerves. For instance:
* Neuromuscular: This term relates to both nerves and muscles.
* Myoneural: This term is less common but also signifies the interaction between muscles and nerves.
