Rhythms in longitudinal thalamic recordings are linked to seizure risk

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Seizure unpredictability remains a major clinical challenge for people with epilepsy. Previous works have shown that seizure risk is associated with circadian and multi‐day cycles in both brain and physiological signals. However, it remains unclear whether neural activity from deep brain structures such as the anterior nucleus of the

A literature review on surgery for cervical vagal schwannomas [PDF]

, 2015
Cervical vagal schwannoma is a benign, slow-growing mass, often asymptomatic, with a very low lifetime risk of malignant transformation in general population, but diagnosis is still a challenge.

Differential hemodynamic and respiratory responses to right and left cervical vagal nerve stimulation in rats

Physiological Reports, 2017
Neuromodulation through vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) is currently explored for a variety of clinical conditions. However, there are no established VNS parameters for animal models of human diseases, such as hypertension. Therefore, the aim of this study

Executive dysfunction and employment in epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Executive dysfunction, affective symptoms, and unemployment are prevalent in patients with epilepsy, yet the relation between these variables remains poorly understood. The present study examined: (1) The relationship between epilepsy‐related variables, affective symptoms, and executive functions (EFs); and (2) how these variables ...

Do the psychological effects of vagus nerve stimulation partially mediate vagal pain modulation?

Neurobiology of Pain, 2017
There is preclinical and clinical evidence that vagus nerve stimulation modulates both pain and mood state. Mechanistic studies show brainstem circuitry involved in pain modulation by vagus nerve stimulation, but little is known about possible indirect ...

Conduction of activity between muscles in the terminal region of the common bile duct and in the neighboring duodenum [PDF]

, 1976
The relationship between muscle activity at the terminal region of the common bile duct and the duodenal muscle was examined in rabbits. The rhythmic muscle activity in the terminal region was synchronous with duodenal muscle activity.

Agreement and 2‐year trajectories of youth‐ and parent‐reported health‐related quality of life in youth with epilepsy treated with surgery vs medical therapy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This cohort study examined the agreement between youth‐ and parent‐reported health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) of children treated with epilepsy surgery compared to medical therapy. A second aim was to evaluate whether changes in HRQOL over 2 years differed between the two groups, and to determine whether these trajectories ...

From brain to spinal cord: neuromodulation by direct current stimulation and its promising effects as a treatment option for restless legs syndrome

Frontiers in Neurology
Neuromodulation is a fast-growing field of mostly non-invasive therapies, which includes spinal cord stimulation (SCS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), vagal nerve stimulation (VNS), peripheral nerve stimulation, transcranial magnetic ...
