Program Direction
Alvaro Pascual-Leone, M.D., Ph.D., Program Director,
Professor of Neurology, has overall administrative and scientific responsibility for the operation of the Beth Israel Deaconess CRC. He also serves as a resource for investigators seeking to do research in the CRC. Dr. Pascual-Leone holds appointments as a Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School, Adjunct Professor in Psychiatry and Neurobiology at Boston University, and in Cognitive Neuroscience at the Faculty of Arts and Science at Harvard University. He is a member of the Division of Behavioral Neurology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. In addition to his role in the CRC, Dr. Pascual-Leone is Director of the Berenson-Allen Center for Noninvasive Brain Stimulation. His clinical research interest is in understanding neural plasticity at a systems level as the reason for development and learning, the cause of disease, and as a mechanism of functional recovery of the nervous system. Dr. Pascual-Leone’s work explores the possibility of using non invasive modulation methods such as TMS and tDCS for clinically relevant therapeutic effects in neuropsychiatry and neurorehabilitation.
