Direct measurement of vagal tone in rats does not show correlation to HRV
Scientific Reports, 2021 The vagus nerve is the largest autonomic nerve, innervating nearly every organ in the body. “Vagal tone” is a clinical measure believed to indicate overall levels of vagal activity, but is measured indirectly through the heart rate variability (HRV ...

Vagal nerve stimulation for epilepsy [PDF]
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 2000 Editor,—It is timely that “Archivist” has taken an interest in vagal nerve stimulation for epilepsy. The comments do not suggest however that Archivist was fully informed. It is true to say that the mechanism by which the effect is achieved is not known, but there is considerable animal evidence that both serotoninergic and noradrenergic pathways from

Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation: retrospective assessment of cardiac safety in a pilot study. [PDF]
, 2012 Background: Vagus nerve stimulation has been successfully used as a treatment strategy for epilepsy and affective disorders for years. Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) is a new non-invasive method to stimulate the vagus nerve, which has been

Schwannomatosis of Cervical Vagus Nerve
Case Reports in Surgery, 2016 Cervical vagal schwannoma is a rare entity among lesions presenting as a neck mass. They are usually slow-growing benign lesions closely associated with the vagus nerve. They are usually solitary and asymptomatic.
