Vagal nerve stimulator: Evolving trends

Journal of Natural Science, Biology and Medicine, 2013
Over three decades ago, it was found that intermittent electrical stimulation from the vagus nerve produces inhibition of neural processes, which can alter brain activity and terminate seizures. This paved way for the concept of vagal nerve stimulator (VNS). We describe the evolution of the VNS and its use in different fields of medicine.

kHz-frequency electrical stimulation selectively activates small, unmyelinated vagus afferents

Brain Stimulation, 2022
Background: Vagal reflexes regulate homeostasis in visceral organs and systems through afferent and efferent neurons and nerve fibers. Small, unmyelinated, C-type afferents comprise over 80% of fibers in the vagus and form the sensory arc of autonomic ...
