The Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology (IPiN) - formerly Psychoneurological Institute - was established as an institution for psychiatric and neurological research by a decision of the Cabinet in 1951.
The establishment of the Institute was due to persistent efforts of a group of psychiatrists and neurobiologists. Among them was Professor Jerzy Konorski (1903-1973), an outstanding neurophysiologist, who conceived the idea of the Institute as a national center for promotion of basic and clinical research on mental and neurological disorders.
