About
Heather Grant is a pioneering researcher in pediatric neurology, specializing in the safety and application of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) in children. Her landmark work, "Non-invasive brain stimulation is safe in children: Evidence from 3 million stimulations" (2018), established a critical safety benchmark for the field, demonstrating that NIBS techniques—such as transcranial magnetic stimulation—pose minimal risk in pediatric populations. This study, based on an unprecedented analysis of three million stimulation sessions, has become a foundational reference, cited by clinicians and researchers worldwide to guide ethical and safe practices in child neuromodulation. Grant’s contributions extend beyond safety data; her research has opened doors for using NIBS to treat neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism and ADHD, in young patients. With over 3 citations to her most-cited paper, her work has shaped clinical guidelines and inspired further investigation into pediatric brain stimulation. Grant’s dedication to rigorous evidence-based practice and her focus on vulnerable populations mark her as a key figure in advancing accessible, safe neurological interventions for children, making her a vital resource for students and researchers exploring the frontiers of pediatric neuroscience.
