neurological
Refers to neurology, that is, the study of the nervous system and its diseases. Describes anything that has to do with the nerves, the brain, or the spinal cord.
Kopfschmerzen können viele Ursachen haben, aber in diesem Fall liegt ein neurologisches Problem vor.
Headaches can have many causes, but in this case there is a neurological problem.
The word is derived from 'die Neurologie' (neurology). The ending '-isch' is a typical ending used to form an adjective from a noun. So it means 'relating to neurology.'
Der Arzt ordnete eine neurologische Untersuchung an.
The doctor ordered a neurological examination.
As a technical term, 'neurologisch' (neurological) is often combined with certain nouns. Common combinations are 'neurologische Erkrankung' (neurological disease), 'neurologische Symptome' (neurological symptoms), or 'neurologische Störung' (neurological disorder).
Taubheitsgefühle können ein neurologisches Symptom sein.

This word belongs to medical and scientific technical language. It is used less often in everyday conversation, unless people are talking about a specific medical topic.

nervous
'nervös' and 'neurologisch' can both have to do with nerves in a medical context. There, 'nervös' generally means that something relates to the nerves or the nervous system. In everyday language, however, 'nervös' much more often means inwardly restless or anxious. 'neurologisch' is more precise and belongs to medicine: it refers to neurology, meaning the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and their diseases. The words can be confused because both are connected to 'Nerven' (nerves). For feelings before an exam, you say 'nervös'; for examinations or diseases of the nervous system, 'neurologisch' is more likely.
