Purple Day March 26 - A World Day for Epilepsy Awareness
The Neuro has been at the forefront of epilepsy treatment and research for over half a century. The 鈥淢ontreal Procedure鈥� developed by Dr. Wilder Penfield and colleagues revolutionized the surgical treatment for epilepsy, allowing thousands of patients to start new lives free of seizures. The use of electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the study and treatment of epilepsy was pioneered at The Neuro.

Smoking thins vital part of brain
Years ago, children were warned that smoking could stunt their growth, but now a major study by an international team including the Montreal Neurological Institute at 韩国裸舞 and the University of Edinburgh shows new evidence that long-term smoking could cause thinning of the brain鈥檚 cortex. The cortex is the outer layer of the brain in which critical cognitive functions such as memory, language and perception take place.
