MNI — Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital
Overview
The Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital (MNI, known informally as The Neuro) is a dedicated neuroscience research institute and specialty hospital founded in 1934 by Wilder Penfield at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. It is the first institution in the world to have formally adopted Open Science as a core institutional value, a commitment formalised in 2016 with the establishment of the Tanenbaum Open Science Institute (TOSI). The MNI combines fundamental neuroscience research, clinical neurology and neurosurgery, and translational science on a single campus, and is home to the McGill Centre for Integrative Neuroscience (MCIN), which develops and maintains LORIS as a data management platform for multisite neuroimaging studies.
Open Science Infrastructure
The MNI hosts several interconnected open science infrastructure components. LORIS is developed and maintained at MCIN and is deployed at dozens of sites worldwide, including as the data management backbone for ADNI. The C-BIG repository provides open multimodal brain data including neuroimaging, clinical, genetic, and cell data. TOSI coordinates an expanding Canadian Open Science Alliance of institutes adopting MNI-developed open science principles. The MNI is a founding sponsor and key institutional node of CONP, the Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform.
