McGill Douglas Mental Health University Institute

Anyone heard of this Institute, affiliated with McGill University? What's its relationship with Montreal Neurological Institute and what are their strengths/disadvantages? I once heard from my friend saying that one institute in McGill is fantastic and with high reputation in cognitive neuroscience. But I just found out there're actually these two institutes and I'm confused. Would anyone give some introductions about them? Thanks a lot!

Both institutes are affiliated with McGill. The MNI has more neuro-focused research, whereas the Douglas is a psychiatric institute with several inpatient and outpatient speciality services as well as an extensive research center. Are you looking to work with a specific researcher? It doesn't really make a difference if they are working out of the MNI or Douglas in terms of reputation. However the MNI is in downtown Montreal, whereas the Douglas is not and takes longer to get to. The majority of McGill's Psychiatry department is based at the Douglas and I've had grad courses there. It takes about an hour by bus or metro from downtown.
