It was 78 years ago today that Dr. Wilder Penfield saw his dream come to fruition with the opening of the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI), integrating cutting-edge neuroscience research with the most advanced and compassionate care for patients with neurological diseases. A world leader right out of the gates, the Neuro has cultivated a spirit of innovation that, in 2007, led to it being named one of the Canadian Government’s seven national Centres of Excellence in Commercialization and Research. Happy birthday, Neuro!
