Vagus Nerve Visualization Using Fused Images of 3D-CT Angiography and MRI as Preoperative Evaluation for Vagus Nerve Stimulation

Brain Sciences, 2023
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an effective surgical option for intractable epilepsy. Although the surgical procedure is not so complicated, vagus nerve detection is sometimes difficult due to its anatomical variations, which may lead to surgical ...

Gut-brain-crosstalk- the vagus nerve and the microbiota-gut-brain axis in depression. A narrative review

Journal of Affective Disorders Reports, 2023
This narrative review summarizes key aspects of vagus nerve function as a main player in the microbiota-gut-brain axis in depression. Gut microbes as well as their metabolites signal directly to the vagus nerve via specialized enteroendocrine cells ...

Cross-sectional area of the vagus nerve on carotid duplex ultrasound and atrial fibrillation in acute stroke: A retrospective analysis

eNeurologicalSci, 2021
Introduction: The autonomic nervous system, including the vagus nerve, is associated with the development of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the association between the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the vagus nerve on ultrasound and the presence of AF

Human vagus nerve branching in the cervical region. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
BACKGROUND:Vagus nerve stimulation is increasingly applied to treat epilepsy, psychiatric conditions and potentially chronic heart failure. After implanting vagus nerve electrodes to the cervical vagus nerve, side effects such as voice alterations and ...

The mechanisms through which auricular vagus nerve stimulation protects against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury

Neural Regeneration Research, 2022
Previous studies have shown that vagus nerve stimulation can improve patients’ locomotor function. The stimulation of the auricular vagus nerve, which is the only superficial branch of the vagus nerve, may have similar effects to vagus nerve stimulation.

The cross-sectional area of the vagus nerve is not reduced in Parkinson's disease patients

eNeurologicalSci, 2022
Background: Recent studies have revealed the importance of the gut brain axis in the development of Parkinson's disease (PD). It has also been suggested that the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the vagus nerve can be used in the diagnosis of PD.

Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation does not affect verbal memory performance in healthy volunteers [PDF]

, 2020
Introduction: Invasive vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) improves word recognition memory in patients with epilepsy. Recent studies with transcutaneous VNS (tVNS) have also shown positive effects on various subdomains of cognitive functioning in healthy ...

Vagus nerve stimulation and inflammation: expanding the scope beyond cytokines

Bioelectronic Medicine, 2022
Approximately 20 years ago it was discovered that the vagus nerve regulates pro-inflammatory cytokine levels and inflammation. Subsequent research using several preclinical models revealed that vagus nerve stimulation evokes a protective decrease in pro ...

Decoding Vagus-Nerve Activity with Carbon Nanotube Sensors in Freely Moving Rodents

Biosensors, 2022
The vagus nerve is the largest autonomic nerve and a major target of stimulation therapies for a wide variety of chronic diseases. However, chronic recording from the vagus nerve has been limited, leading to significant gaps in our understanding of vagus
