About
Dr. Motoaki Nakamura is a leading researcher in the application of non-invasive brain stimulation to neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders, with a particular focus on autism spectrum disorder (ASD). His major contributions center on understanding and modulating the neural circuitry underlying social cognition and executive function. Notably, his 2021 study on navigation-guided repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the right anterior temporoparietal junction in ASD demonstrated a targeted, single-session intervention that can alter brain activity, garnering 16 citations and highlighting a novel, precise approach to treatment. Dr. Nakamura’s work bridges advanced neuroimaging with therapeutic neuromodulation, offering promising pathways for personalized interventions. His research has been instrumental in showing how focal brain stimulation can influence complex social behaviors, with his most-cited papers collectively reflecting a deep impact on the field of biological psychiatry. Through these studies, he has helped pave the way for more refined, circuit-based treatments for conditions like ASD, making his contributions both innovative and clinically relevant.
