Notes
- Founded in 1934 by the Rockefeller Foundation, the Montreal Neurological
Institute (MNI)–and the National Hospital for Nervous Diseases at Queen
Square in London (hereafter cited as Queen Square Hospital)–trained a
great number of clinical and research neurologists under the guidance of
Wilder Penfield, William Cone, Colin Russell, and others. The MNI, the
VA neurology units, and later the NINDB training programs, helped bridge
the academic training gap (see Tower’s chapter, this volume). - Pearce Bailey, oral history interview by Wyndham D. Miles, October 7,
