Organ- and function-specific anatomical organization of vagal fibers supports fascicular vagus nerve stimulation

Brain Stimulation, 2023
Vagal fibers travel inside fascicles and form branches to innervate organs and regulate organ functions. Existing vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) therapies activate vagal fibers non-selectively, often resulting in reduced efficacy and side effects from non-

Comparison of the histological structure of the tibial nerve and its terminal branches in the fresh and fresh-frozen cadavers

Folia Morphologica, 2021
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to compare the histological structure (cross-sectional area [CSA] and number of nerve fascicles) of the distal part of the tibial nerve (TN) and its terminal branches (medial plantar nerve [MPN], lateral plantar ...

Identification of sensory and motor nerve fascicles by immunofluorescence staining after peripheral nerve injury

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2021
Background Inappropriate matching of motor and sensory fibers after nerve repair or nerve grafting can lead to failure of nerve recovery. Identification of motor and sensory fibers is important for the development of new approaches that facilitate neural

The terminal branch of the posterior interosseous nerve: an anatomic and histologic study

Folia Morphologica, 2021
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the terminal branch of the posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) by anatomically and histologically assessing the number, dimension, and area of its individual fascicles, by determining the dimension and ...

Quantified Morphology of the Cervical and Subdiaphragmatic Vagus Nerves of Human, Pig, and Rat

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
It is necessary to understand the morphology of the vagus nerve (VN) to design and deliver effective and selective vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) because nerve morphology influences fiber responses to electrical stimulation.

Mapping the functional anatomy and topography of the cardiac autonomic innervation for selective cardiac neuromodulation using MicroCT

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Background: Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has gained great importance as a promising therapy for a myriad of diseases. Of particular interest is the therapy of cardiovascular diseases, such as heart failure or atrial fibrillation using selective cardiac ...

Correlation between diffusion tensor indices and fascicular morphometric parameters of peripheral nerve

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Introduction: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that measures the anisotropy of water diffusion. Clinical magnetic resonance imaging scanners enable visualization of the structural integrity of larger axonal ...

Effect of Transducer Orientation on Errors in Ultrasound Image-Based Measurements of Human Medial Gastrocnemius Muscle Fascicle Length and Pennation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Ultrasound imaging is often used to measure muscle fascicle lengths and pennation angles in human muscles in vivo. Theoretically the most accurate measurements are made when the transducer is oriented so that the image plane aligns with muscle fascicles ...

Increased Ankle Plantar Flexor Stiffness Is Associated With Reduced Mechanical Response to Stretch in Adults With CP

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021
Hyperexcitable stretch reflexes are often not present despite of other signs of spasticity in people with brain lesion. Here we looked for evidence that increased resistance to length change of the plantar flexor muscle-fascicles may contribute to a ...
