Sara De Witte

Sara De Witte is a postdoctoral researcher affiliated with Ghent University and the University Hospital Brussels (Vrije Universiteit Brussel). Her work focuses on neuroprotection, neuromodulation, and clinical neuroscience.

Research Interests: Dr. De Witte specializes in transcranial brain stimulation techniques, including tDCS and TBS, applied to psychiatric disorders like depression. Her research explores neural networks, prefrontal cortex modulation, and biomarkers for treatment response.

Recent Publications (2025): Her recent work examines accelerated iTBS in melancholic depression, gray matter volume correlates of working memory, cerebral blood flow in anxious dogs, white matter microstructure in depression, and aiTBS effects on neural responses to criticism. These studies span psychiatry, neuroimaging, and translational neuroscience.

Supervision: Dr. De Witte supervises external PhD research, including Deborah Van Rossem's work on stress regulation mechanisms via non-invasive brain stimulation.
