About
Dr. Jacinda R. Larson is a leading figure in pediatric neuromodulation, whose work has fundamentally advanced the safe application of non-invasive brain stimulation in children. Her research focuses on the neurophysiology of the developing brain, particularly using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to investigate and treat neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions. Dr. Larson’s most impactful contribution is her landmark 2019 study, which provided the first large-scale safety data for these techniques in pediatric populations, drawing from an unprecedented 3.5 million stimulations. This work, cited over 160 times, established critical safety and tolerability benchmarks that have enabled subsequent clinical trials and broader research in children. By systematically demonstrating that these tools can be used safely in developing brains, she has opened new avenues for studying conditions like autism, ADHD, and pediatric epilepsy. Her rigorous, evidence-based approach has made her a trusted authority in the field, directly shaping clinical guidelines and inspiring a new generation of researchers to explore neuromodulation’s therapeutic potential in young patients.
