Over the past 65 years the Montreal Neurological Institute,
familiarly known as the "Neuro", became recognized worldwide,
particularly for the surgery of epilepsy, neuroimaging, neuropsychology, neuromuscular research, and molecular and genetic neurobiology.
A street corner near McGill's Medical School now
uniquely commemorates these two famous doctors, Sir William Osler and
Dr. Penfield who pioneered in the teaching, research, and
treatment of neurological disorders at McGill.
