Teresa Jacobson Kimberley

Teresa Jacobson Kimberley is a Senior Professor at the MGH Institute of Health Professions. Her research integrates neuroscience, neurology, and rehabilitation science, focusing on stroke rehabilitation, neurorehabilitation, motor control, and brain stimulation. Her recent work explores vagus nerve stimulation paired with upper extremity rehabilitation post-stroke, TMS intensity standardization via individualized electric field modeling, and the neurophysiological contributions to dysphonia. She has published in Nature, The Lancet Neurology, and Stroke, investigating Parkinson’s disease as a somato-cognitive action network disorder and the MEP trichotomy’s value in distinguishing arm motor behavior. Her international collaborations advance neurostimulation and motor recovery research.
