About
Jorge Leite is a leading figure in the field of non-invasive brain stimulation, with his research primarily centered on transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and its therapeutic applications for neurological and psychiatric disorders. His most impactful contribution is the landmark 2020 paper, "Evidence-Based Guidelines and Secondary Meta-Analysis for the Use of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Neurological and Psychiatric Disorders," which has garnered over 590 citations. This work, produced by a consortium of tDCS experts, provides a rigorous, evidence-based framework for clinical practice, systematically evaluating the efficacy of tDCS across conditions like depression, pain, and stroke recovery. By synthesizing decades of data, Leite helped transform tDCS from a promising experimental tool into a clinically actionable intervention. His research is distinguished by its methodological precision, bridging the gap between laboratory findings and real-world patient care. Beyond this seminal guideline, Leite continues to explore how targeted electrical stimulation can modulate neural plasticity, making him a pivotal voice in the quest to develop safe, non-pharmacological treatments for the brain.
