Biography
Wu Jianping, male, Han nationality, is a native of Taicang, Jiangsu Province. He graduated from the Medical Treatment Department of Shanghai First Medical University in 1958.
A neural physiologist, Wu revealed that a direct synaptic connection existed between the fiber end of the nucleus ventralis thalami and the pallium rapid pyramidal tract never cells. He later proved that stimulating peripheral nerves via acupuncture and electro-stimulation could restrain the reflection of spinal nerve cells or other dorsal horn nerve cells caused by noxious stimulus.
Wu has served as a researcher and dean at the Shanghai Brain Research Institute at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 1991, the academy elected him as an academician.
