The Neuro. Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital

With 11 research units closely integrated with clinical activities, the MNI is engaged in the full spectrum of contemporary neuroscience research and patient care. Among the MNI's internationally recognized strengths are the research units in Epilepsy Research and Treatment, the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre, Cognitive Neuroscience, Neuroimmunology, Complex Neural Systems, and Neuromuscular Disease. Extensive molecular and cellular biology is also carried out in the Centre for Neuronal Survival and the Cell Biology of Excitable Tissues Group, while researchers in the Brain Tumour Research Centre work closely with colleagues in the Neurosurgical Research group.
The Neuro is an ideal environment for translational research where experts apply discoveries of basic science research to improve the care of patients suffering from neurological diseases. Patients benefit from close interaction among clinical and basic scientists and can receive treatment for ALS, brain tumours, epilepsy, migraine, multiple sclerosis, pain, Parkinson’s disease and other conditions. Patients also benefit from technical advances in brain imaging, neuro-radiology, neuro-navigation and neuro-stimulation. Many patients participate in studies of the newest treatments available through our Clinical Research Unit.
Since its founding in 1934, the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital has offered outstanding training, and former fellows hold prominent positions around the world. Today’s trainees, from more than 60 countries, will also have a worldwide impact as we reach out through international collaborations, formal relationships with sister institutes, and high visibility in professional organizations.
