Human vagus nerve fascicular anatomy and its implications for targeted cardiac stimulation: a microCT segmentation and histological pilot anatomical study [PDF]

Frontiers in Neuroscience
IntroductionThe functional anatomy of autonomic nerve fascicles has remained poorly understood. Building on prior evidence of organotopic organization in the pig cervical vagus nerve, this study examined the thoracic branches of the human vagus nerve ...

Quantification of human upper extremity nerves and fascicular anatomy [PDF]

Muscle and Nerve, 2017
ABSTRACTIntroductionIn this study we provide detailed quantification of upper extremity nerve and fascicular anatomy. The purpose is to provide values and trends in neural features useful for clinical applications and neural interface device design.MethodsNerve cross‐sections were taken from 4 ulnar, 4 median, and 3 radial nerves from 5 arms of 3 human

MicroCT optimisation for imaging fascicular anatomy in peripheral nerves [PDF]

Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 2020
Abstract Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a promising therapy for treatment of various conditions resistant to standard therapeutics. However, due to the lack of understanding of the fascicular organisation of the vagus nerve, VNS leads to unwanted off-target effects.

Avoiding off-target effects in electrical stimulation of the cervical vagus nerve: Neuroanatomical tracing techniques to study fascicular anatomy of the vagus nerve

Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 2019
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a promising therapy for treatment of various conditions that are resistant to standard medication, such as heart failure, epilepsy, and depression. The vagus nerve is a complex nerve providing afferent and efferent innervation of the pharynx, larynx, heart, tracheobronchial tree and lungs, oesophagus, stomach, liver ...

In vivo Visualization of Pig Vagus Nerve “Vagotopy” Using Ultrasound

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Background: Placement of the clinical vagus nerve stimulating cuff is a standard surgical procedure based on anatomical landmarks, with limited patient specificity in terms of fascicular organization or vagal anatomy. As such, the therapeutic effects are
