I like it. Perhaps a ganglion of neurologists?
Ganglion - nice. Conveys the idea of them huddling together.
I ended up going with "cauldron" and "battery" for endocrinologists and neurologists due to the "soups v sparks" divide. Not sure if "cauldron" really works though. Maybe I should have gone with something simple like "spoon" or "bowl".
