About

Mou‐Xiong Zheng is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and neuromodulation, with a primary focus on restoring motor function following central nervous system (CNS) injuries. Their work bridges innovative surgical techniques and non-invasive stimulation technologies to address paralysis and motor deficits caused by spinal cord injury, stroke, traumatic brain injury, and cerebral palsy. Zheng’s major contribution includes a systematic review on peripheral nerve transfers for CNS dysfunctions, demonstrating how re-routing healthy nerves can bypass damaged neural pathways to restore lost function—a paradigm shift in treating conditions once deemed irreversible. This influential 2024 paper has already garnered 11 citations, highlighting its rapid impact on clinical practice. More recently, Zheng has advanced the understanding of transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS), a non-invasive technique that modulates spinal circuits to enhance motor recovery. Their 2025 review synthesizes mechanistic insights and clinical efficacy, offering a roadmap for integrating tsDCS into rehabilitation protocols. By combining surgical and neuromodulatory approaches, Zheng is redefining recovery possibilities for patients with severe CNS damage, making their work essential reading for clinicians and researchers in neurorehabilitation.
