About

Dr. Jizhong Yang has pioneered the application of non-invasive brain stimulation in pediatric populations, fundamentally advancing our understanding of neurophysiology in the developing brain. His landmark study, "Safety and tolerability of transcranial magnetic and direct current stimulation in children," provides the largest evidence base to date, analyzing over 3.5 million stimulations to establish the safety profile of these techniques in children. This work, cited over 160 times, has been instrumental in enabling researchers and clinicians to confidently explore neuromodulation for pediatric neurological and psychiatric conditions. Dr. Yang's research bridges critical gaps in developmental neuroscience, demonstrating that non-invasive brain stimulation can be safely applied to interrogate and modulate brain function in young patients. His contributions have opened new avenues for treating conditions such as epilepsy, autism, and ADHD, while also providing foundational safety data that guides ethical research practices. By rigorously documenting tolerability and adverse effects, Dr. Yang has set the standard for pediatric neuromodulation studies worldwide, making him a leading authority in this rapidly evolving field.
