McGill University offers a leading international research environment in neuroscience and has recently been awarded major funding for a research program in understanding the role of the lysosomal glycosphingolipid metabolism pathway in neurodegeneration. The neuroscience community at McGill and in greater Montreal is one of the largest and most diverse in North America.

The Neuro provides a highly integrated research and clinical environment, with 9 research groups home to approximately 80 principal investigators, clinics specialized in neurology and neurosurgery, and a clinical research unit conducting multiple clinical trials. This provides a unique environment for studying fundamental and applied neuroscience.
