About

Dr. Monica A. Gorassini is a leading figure in neurorehabilitation and non-invasive brain stimulation, with a particular focus on spinal cord injury and motor recovery. Her work has fundamentally advanced our understanding of how the brain and spinal cord adapt after injury, and how techniques like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be used to promote functional recovery. She is perhaps best known for her landmark study on the safety of these techniques in children, which analyzed over 3.5 million stimulations and provided the critical evidence needed to expand their use in pediatric populations (163 citations). This work, alongside her broader contributions to neuroplasticity and motor control, has established her as a trusted authority in the field. With thousands of citations across her career, Dr. Gorassini’s research continues to shape clinical guidelines and inspire new therapeutic approaches for individuals with neurological impairments.
