  In 1959, when this hospital was first built, the Section of Neuropsychiatry was originally under the Department of Medicine and the Section of Neurosurgery was under the Department of Surgery. In 1975, the Section of Neuropsychiatry became an independent department, i.e. the Department of Neuropsychiatry and in 1983, this department further divided into two departments, the Department of Neurology and the Department of Psychiatry. Through the dedication of Dr. Albert Ly-Young Shen the Neurological Institute was first born in January 1st, 1989 by merging the Department of Neurology and the Section of Neurosurgery. The Neurological Institute is composed of two major departments, the Neurological and Neurosurgical Departments:

 

  The Neurological Department has four divisions, including General Neurology; Neurovascular Neurology; Peripheral Neurology; and Epilepsy. Specialized facilities such as neuropsychological examinations, electroencephalography (EEG), video-EEG monitoring, electromyography (EMG), sensory evoked potentials, transcranial magnetic stimulation, hemodynamic test, cerebrovascular ultrasonography, neuromuscular pathology and neurogenetic/ neuroimmunological tests are available in the Neurological Department for the evaluation of the nervous system disorders.

 

  The Neurosurgical Department has four divisions, including General Neurosurgery; Functional Neurosurgery; Pediatric Neurosurgery; and Neural Regeneration and Repair, and one Neurological Intensive Care Unit (NCU). In addition to routine neurosurgical services for cerebrospinal lesions, the introduction of the Gamma-Knife allows for another options for skull base tumors as well as vascular malformations . The Neurosurgical Department also offers epileptic surgeries for selected patients with intractable seizures. New monitoring systems have been developed and applied to patients with increased intracranial pressure or critical conditions after major brain surgery or head injury in NCU. The Division of Neural Regeneration and Repair provides new hope for the treatment of cervical cord trauma, thoracic-lumbar cord trauma, brachial plexus injury and common peroneal nerve injury.
