These lectures are named in honour of听听(1918鈥�2014), Former Director of the听听(1972鈥�1984) and Founding Director of the听BIC听(1984鈥�1988).
听presence and contribution will be greatly missed at our weekly Brain Imaging Lectures, where he almost always asked the final, most-germane question of the day: one that usually bridged the clinical and research realms, and that brought together the past, the present, and the future of brain science.
During the pandemic听all lectures are held on Zoom. Before the pandemic, Lectures were held on Mondays at 1:00 pm in the de Grandpr茅 Communications Centre of the Montreal Neurological Institute. To be notified about these lectures and all the other events going on at the BIC, please join the
