The true benefit is bringing together the providers of care, doctors and other professionals, with the researchers and a spectrum of patients that include all brain sciences—those with diseases of the mind that may be cared for by psychiatrists, and stroke patients that may be cared for by neurologists, and those with brain tumours that may be treated by neurosurgeons—and bringing them together in an organization that has all the services to care for all of those patients with the synergy that comes from having people working together in the same building under the same roof. Not only do we get the best quality of care but we also get the best academic productivity.
