He also founded the American Neurological Association and wrote the first neurology textbook. Today, NYU Langone Medical Center’s Department of Neurology features several specialty centers, including a concussion center, a comprehensive stroke center and the Pearl I. Barlow Center for Memory Evaluation and Treatment, in addition to many other programs.
