International Neuroscience Institute (INI) is an international research institute and hospital[2] in Hanover, Germany. In this hospital treatments contain treating diseases of brain, spinal cord diseases, diseases of peripheral nerves, tumors and etcetera.[2] In addition, animal testing can also be performed.[1]
The building's design, often cited as a prime example of iconic, literal architectural representation, is a visual metaphor shaped explicitly to resemble the human brain.[3] "The INI was planned and constructed at the occasion of the World Exposition 2000 in Hannover, Germany . As an exhibition object it represented state of the art medical technology dedicated to diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the nervous system."[4]
