Pascual-Leone is a world leader in developing transcranial magnetic stimulation for application in cognitive neuroscience and for therapeutic applications in neurology, psychiatry and neurorehabilitation. Pascual-Leone’s research projects aim at understanding the mechanisms that control brain plasticity across the lifespan to be able to modify them for the subject’s optimal behavioral outcome. Pascual-Leone combines various brain imaging and brain stimulation methodologies to establish a causal relationship and precise chronometry between regional brain activation and behavior and uses noninvasive brain stimulation techniques to modulate brain plasticity, suppressing some changes and enhancing others to gain a clinical benefit and behavioral advantage for a given individual. Such non-invasive approaches can lead to clinically relevant therapeutic effects in neuropsychiatry and neurorehabilitation and serve as proof-of-principle before more invasive neuromodulatory interventions.
