Montreal Neurological Institute
The Montreal Neurological Institute is an institute dedicated to the
study of the brain and of the nervous system. It is affiliated with
McGill University; all MNI
researchers hold teaching positions at the University. At the MNI,
basic scientists---those working purely on research---interact closely
with clinical scientists treating patients at the MNH. The MNI is a
world leader in epilepsy research and treatment, and was instrumental
in developing such important medical tools as electroencephelography
(recording the electrical activity within the brain) and 3-D imaging
techniques for neurosurgery.
