The institute was founded in 1909 by Joseph Collins, Charles Elsberg (Columbia University P&S neurosurgery chair from 1909 to 1937), Joseph Fraenkel, and Pearce Bailey, as the first hospital and research center in the western hemisphere devoted solely to neurological disorders. From 1910 to 1911, Barbara Spofford Morgan directed the psychological clinic. The Neurological Institute began teaching medical students at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons  in 1921, became affiliated with Presbyterian Hospital – now NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital – in 1925, and merged with it in 1943. It consists of a department of academic neurology and a department of neurological surgery. The Chair of the Department of Neurology at Columbia College of Physicians & Surgeons is simultaneously the Neurologist-in-Chief of NewYork-Presbyterian / Columbia. Richard P.
