Ranked third in the nation in Neurology and Neurosurgery by U.S.News & World Report in 2007 and internationally regarded as one of the premier neurological facilities in clinical care, research, and teaching, the Neuroscience Centers at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital offer the most innovative, up-to-date treatments to combat the full range of neurological disorders. The Centers' outstanding faculty and staff provide extensive clinical care in a wide spectrum of specialties in neurology, interventional neuroradiology, and neurosurgery. The Neuroscience Centers combine the unparalleled expertise of two leading programs, both linked with top Ivy-League medical schools, Weill Medical College of Cornell University and Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.

The Neurological Institute of New York at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center, founded in 1909, is internationally recognized as the first medical center in North America to specialize in the treatment of diseases of the nervous system. Among a long list of accomplishments, the Neurological Institute treats the largest stroke caseload worldwide, has the lowest mortality rate for aneurysm surgery in New York State, and is a pioneer in the development of hypothermic arrest surgery.

The Weill Cornell Neuroscience Institute at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center has a distinguished history of providing comprehensive care to patients suffering from neurological disorders. Developments in clinical care are advanced by innovation and discoveries in the Center's cutting-edge research program, which continue to further our understanding and treatment of neurological disorders. The Weill Cornell Neuroscience Institute is credited with several notable achievements, including the creation of an internationally recognized protocol for the treatment of traumatic brain injury, pioneering work in multiple sclerosis research, and state-of-the-art gene therapy treatment for Parkinson's disease.
