About Us
We are neuroimaging scientists at the Montreal Neurological Institute, The Neuro.
Building on a legacy
We build on a long heritage of advancing human brain mapping and creation of brain atlases for population studies.
Home to Cutting Edge Science and Technology
In the past 40 years, McConnell Brain Imaging has been a leader in neuroimaging, introducing many of Canada’s first research scanners, brain atlases, and neuroinformatic platforms for leading open-science research. Our scientists have pioneered neuroimaging technologies that are globally used by neurologists, neurosurgeons and cognitive scientists.

Our team
The Montreal-Paris NEUROBANK project is led by Dr. Julien Doyon, Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery at McGill University, and Dr. Stéphane Lehéricy, Head of Neuroradiology at Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, Sorbonne University. The project is managed by the Research Program Officer, Dr. Najmeh Khalili-Mahani, alongside a specialized neuroimaging team. Faculty members in the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery at McGill will oversee research and data-sharing.

Our partners
Led by Dr. Stéphane Lehéricy, the Paris phase of our research will be conducted at the state-of-the-art neuroimaging platform (CENIR) of the Paris Brain Institute, situated at the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital.
Led by Dr Mayada Elsabbagh and Christine Tardif, the Q1K team collects similar data modalities in neurodivergent families.
