History

Pioneer in Sweden

The Neurology Clinic at Karolinska University Hospital was established in 1887 as the second one in the world. The first Neurological Clinic was established in Paris 1884. For a long time they became the only Neurology Clinics in the world. Only in the 1950s there would be other neurological clinic established in Sweden.

Neurocentrum Solna opened 26 September 1963 under the leadership of Professor Eric Kugerlberg, with excellent research facilities both for clinical and experimental research. Once the land belonged to the crown farm Norrbacka. There was a house up on the hill with the same name that in the 1700s was transformed in a tavern where Carl Michael Bellman was a frequent guest.
