Reduced vagal tone in women with adenomyosis
Reproduction and FertilityAdenomyosis is an estrogen-dependent disease featuring chronic inflammation. This study was undertaken to investigate whether vagal tone is reduced in patients with adenomyosis compared with healthy women.

Oligogenic inheritance in epilepsy: A systematic exome‐wide analysis
Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Genetic factors contribute to the majority of epilepsies, but the exact genetic cause remains unknown in most patients. Incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity are frequent, and recent studies showed a burden of deleterious variants in epilepsy genes, suggesting a role for oligogenic inheritance.

Bioelectronic MedicineVagal-immune interactions are increasingly recognized to play a role in the pathogenesis of diseases associated with immune dysfunction. To study the direct effects of altered vagal activity on adaptive immune function and antibody production, we modeled

Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Use of neuromodulation strategies targeting thalamic nuclei, including deep brain stimulation (DBS) and responsive neurostimulation (RNS), for treatment of pediatric drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) is increasing, despite limited evidence for efficacy and safety. We present the initial results from the Comparative Multicenter Evaluation

Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy defined by polymorphic seizures, intellectual disability (ID), and characteristic electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns. The applicability and biological validity of current electroclinical criteria remain debated.

Vagal stimulation attenuates sympathetic enhancement of left ventricular function
, 1990 We studied the effects of stimulation of the vagal and sympathetic cardiac nerves on left ventricular contraction and relaxation in 16 anesthetized dogs.

Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Objective This study was undertaken to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of low‐intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) as a noninvasive neuromodulation technique in patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE). Methods In this pilot, single‐blind, randomized sham‐controlled crossover trial, 12 patients with DRE underwent both LIFU and

Perils and progress in epilepsy surgery utilization: Twenty‐five years later
Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract More than 25 years have passed since the first randomized controlled trial (RCT) established that surgery is superior to continued anti‐seizure medication (ASM) for drug‐resistant temporal lobe epilepsy, and nearly as long since a joint practice parameter urged that appropriate surgical candidates be referred to a specialized center for ...

Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Interictal electroencephalographic (EEG) activities are generally considered asymptomatic. Pulse wave amplitude drop (PWAD) is a marker of autonomic nervous system (ANS) reactivity linked to cardiovascular risk. Generalized paroxysmal fast activity (GPFA) is a major EEG pattern in different epileptic conditions.

Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Although the centromedian nucleus of the thalamus (CM) is an increasingly considered deep brain stimulation (DBS) target for drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE), there is significant variability in programming practices, which may contribute to heterogenous outcomes.
