About
Lorenzo Mongardi is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of neuromodulation and complex neuropsychiatric disorders. His work primarily focuses on deep brain stimulation (DBS) as a therapeutic intervention for severe, treatment-resistant conditions that disrupt cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical circuitry. Mongardi’s major contributions include demonstrating the efficacy of DBS in the subgenual cingulate region (SGC) for early-onset conversion disorder with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) and prolonged catatonia, highlighting the SGC’s role as a hub in motivational and cognitive-motor networks. This landmark case study, though preliminary, has garnered attention for its innovative approach to “network pathologies.” Additionally, his multicentre study on unilateral DBS of the nucleus ventralis intermedius thalami (Vim) for post-traumatic tremor in children represents a significant advance in pediatric neuromodulation, offering new hope for young patients with debilitating movement disorders. With each of his most-cited papers accumulating 2 citations, Mongardi’s work is foundational, paving the way for larger trials and broader clinical applications. His research not only deepens our understanding of neural circuitry but also translates directly into life-changing treatments for patients with previously intractable conditions.
