Historically, the development of neuropsychology began with the influential work of Dr Wilder Penfield and Dr Brenda Milner at the Montreal Neurological Institute. The discipline gained momentum in the 1970s and 80s, particularly through the influence of Dr André Roch Lecours who had a major impact in aphasiology and cognitive neuropsychology. He created in the early 1980s the Centre de recherche Côte-des-Neiges, now the CRIUGM. Since its creation, this center has fostered numerous exchanges and collaborations between scientists and clinicians from Quebec and Europe. More recently, Quebec has seen the emergence of new research centers which have allowed major advances in neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience. There are also several important neuroimaging centers which have had a significant impact on the field by allowing to gain better insights into brain-behavior relationships. Finally, clinical neuropsychology has also developed substantially in Quebec, notably through the creation of doctoral training programs in clinical neuropsychology.
