About
Rose Swansburg is a leading researcher in pediatric non-invasive brain stimulation, with a primary focus on its safety, tolerability, and therapeutic applications in neurodevelopmental disorders. Her landmark 2019 study, cited over 160 times, provided the largest prospective evidence to date, demonstrating that transcranial magnetic and direct current stimulation are safe in children across 3.5 million stimulations—a critical foundation for expanding pediatric neuromodulation. Swansburg’s work has advanced the use of repetitive TMS to modulate motor circuitry in Tourette syndrome, showing feasibility in reducing tic severity through bilateral stimulation of the supplementary motor area. She has also explored neurometabolic differences in ADHD, linking altered motor cortex neurochemistry to TMS-derived motor map abnormalities, offering new insights into the pathophysiology of disordered motor circuitry in the disorder. Her contributions have helped establish safety benchmarks and opened avenues for non-invasive brain stimulation as a therapeutic tool in pediatric populations, making her a key figure in translating neuromodulation techniques from adults to children.
