The Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital presents
NEURO PORTRAIT: The Brain Inspires Us
Envisioned by Yves Ferland, a former patient, following an experience that changed his life, Neuro Portrait has been brought to life thanks to the generosity of eleven photographers and one visual artist, as well as the commitment of numerous volunteers.
This unique exhibit explores neuroscience and a world-renowned Quebec institution that is uncovering the secrets of the human brain and providing the most advanced compassionate care to patients with neurological disorders. The goal of the exhibit is to bring neuroscience to the public through the unique lens of the artists.
Both a research institute and a hospital affiliated with McGill University and the McGill University Health Centre, The Neuro was founded in 1934 by eminent neurosurgeon Wilder Penfield. His unique model integrating research with clinical care under one roof has given The Neuro a world renowned reputation and still today, provides the best climate for unlocking the mysteries of the human brain.
The Neuro's mission: understand the nervous system, discover the mechanisms underlying disease and develop effective treatments for disorders such as stroke, brain cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and epilepsy.
This inspiring exhibit was made possible by the generosity and creativity of the artists, faculty and staff of The Neuro and many volunteers and collaborators. The Neuro thanks Toshiba, official sponsor for this traveling exhibit, our partners at each location : Carrefour Laval, Complexe Desjardins, Complexe de la Gare Centrale, Place Ville-Marie, Centre de commerce mondial de Montréal and thanks Déménagement La Capitale.
