The Neurological Institute of New York was founded in 1909 as the first hospital and research center in the western hemisphere devoted solely to neurological disorders. It was originally located at 149-151 East 67th Street. In 1925, it affiliated with Presbyterian Hospital and in 1929 occupied its own building at the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center campus at W. 168th St. and Fort Washington Ave.
In 1943, the Neurological Institute merged with Presbyterian Hospital, but retained its name. The Institute also serves as the department of neurology of the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.
