The Midwest's Neurological Experts
The Illinois Neurological Institute (INI) is a leader in the Midwest for clinical care, research, and education in neurological illness.

A Midwestern Pioneer In Neuroscience
The INI has established itself as a pioneer by bringing some of the most advanced neuroscience care to the Midwest. The INI provided computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and advanced angiography systems before they were generally available in the Midwest. The institute developed the microsurgery program for skull base tumors and intracranial aneurysms in 1968. We now have three dedicated surgical suites with the most advanced surgical microscopes and guidance systems available in the nation.
