About

Donald L. Gilbert is a leading figure in pediatric movement disorders and neurophysiology, with a primary focus on Tourette syndrome, tic disorders, and the clinical applications of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). His most impactful contribution is co-authoring the landmark 2020 expert guidelines on TMS safety, which updated the decade-old international consensus for both healthy subjects and patient populations. This work, endorsed by the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology (IFCN), has been cited over 1,470 times, serving as the essential reference for researchers and clinicians worldwide. Dr. Gilbert’s research has advanced the understanding of cortical excitability and inhibitory control in children with tics, shaping evidence-based treatment approaches. His leadership in establishing rigorous safety protocols has enabled broader, safer use of TMS in pediatric neurology. With a career dedicated to bridging neurophysiological mechanisms and clinical practice, Dr. Gilbert’s guidelines and studies remain foundational for students and researchers exploring non-invasive brain stimulation and developmental movement disorders.
