As I mentioned in yesterday’s moment, Queen Square is home to many health care related buildings.

The one shown in the photo above is now known as The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, but back in 1884 when this grand building was erected it was known as the National Hospital for the Paralysed and Epileptic, as this drawing from the Illustrated London News dated July 4, 1885 shows:

Queen Square is also home to the UCL Institute of Neurology, the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, the MRC Centre for Neuromuscular Diseases, the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging, the Dementia Research Centre, the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit, the Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine (which used to be called the Royal London Homoeopathic Hospital), as well as part of Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children.

Or to put it another way, most people with serious brain function problems will probably end up here!
