About
Tingting Du is a leading researcher in neuromodulation and epilepsy, with a focus on deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the anterior nucleus of the thalamus (ANT) for temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Her pioneering work has elucidated how ANT-DBS alleviates basal ganglia dysfunction and protects hippocampal neurons through autophagy activation in epileptic monkeys—a key mechanism for neuroprotection. Du’s highly cited studies (e.g., 25 and 14 citations) demonstrate the therapeutic potential of ANT-DBS, while her development of a robotic-assisted lead implantation system (17 citations) has advanced surgical precision in nonhuman primate models. Notably, she established a novel mesial TLE rhesus monkey model using robot-guided kainic acid injection (12 citations), providing a robust platform for translational epilepsy research. Her contributions bridge fundamental neuroscience and clinical application, offering insights into seizure propagation and neuroprotective strategies. Du’s work is instrumental for students and researchers exploring DBS mechanisms, epilepsy pathophysiology, and innovative preclinical models.
