Branch of medicine in US city set record for foreign money? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

neurology

'branch of medicine' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'us city set record for foreign money?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'city' could be 'ur' (ancient Sumerian city state) and 'ur' is found in the answer.
'record' could be 'log' (logging is a kind of recording) and 'log' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' acts as a link.

(Another definition for neurology that I've seen is " Study of the nervous system".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
