Prkachin: Wired Together
Prkachin: Wired Together
Yvan Prkachin will shortly publish his first book, Wired Together: The Montreal Neurological Institute and the Origins of Modern Neuroscience with University of Chicago Press in January 2026. Wired Together explains the rise of neuroscience by tracing the history of the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) and the men and women who transformed it into neuroscience’s most innovative and productive research site. Wired Together also traces how the MNI and its network of scientists spread this new interdisciplinary neuroscience to the rest of the world.
Yvan Prkachin is a postdoc at the Chair for the History of Medicine here in Zürich and a member of the SNF-project Life Support: Technologies, Institutions and Experiences in the History of Intensive Care Medicine, 1945-2020, led by professors Flurin Condrau in Zürich and Carsten Timmermann in Manchester.
