About

Miki Hashida is a pioneering clinical researcher at the forefront of epilepsy surgery and neuromodulation, with a focused expertise in thalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) for intractable epilepsy. Her major contribution lies in advancing the understanding of epileptic network dynamics through the innovative use of stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) to map thalamic neural activity. In her landmark 2025 prospective study protocol—already garnering early citations—Hashida established a rigorous framework for correlating thalamic SEEG recordings with seizure outcomes, bridging a critical gap between basic neurophysiology and surgical practice. This work promises to refine patient selection for DBS and optimize stimulation targets, directly addressing the needs of the one-third of epilepsy patients who do not respond to medication. While her citation count is still growing, the immediate recognition of her protocol underscores its timeliness and potential to reshape palliative surgical strategies. Hashida’s research is distinguished by its methodological precision and translational ambition, positioning her as an emerging leader in network-based epilepsy therapeutics. Her ongoing studies are poised to deliver actionable insights for clinicians and researchers alike.
