First‐in‐human microelectrode recordings from the vagus nerve during clinical vagus nerve stimulation [PDF]
Epilepsia OpenIntroduction Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an effective treatment for people with drug‐resistant epilepsy. However, its mechanisms of action are poorly understood, including which nerve fibers are activated in humans during VNS in typical clinical ...

Optimizing non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation for treatment in stroke [PDF]
Neural Regeneration ResearchStroke remains a leading cause of long-term disability worldwide. There is an unmet need for neuromodulatory therapies that can mitigate against neurovascular injury and potentially promote neurological recovery.

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 ...

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 role of the vagus nerve during fetal development and its relationship with the environment [PDF]
, 2021 The autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulatory capacity begins before birth as the sympathetic and parasympathetic activity contributes significantly to the fetus' development. Several studies have shown how vagus nerve is involved in many vital processes during fetal, perinatal and postnatal life: from the regulation of inflammation through the anti ...

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

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 ...

Mechanical Ptosis in Neurofibromatosis Type 1 Heralding the Diagnosis of Right Sided Cervical Vagus Nerve Neurofibroma: A Rare Case Report [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016 Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant, multisystem disorder. In NF1, involvement of vagus nerve can occur in the form of neurofibroma.
