Selective stimulation of the ferret abdominal vagus nerve with multi-contact nerve cuff electrodes
Scientific Reports, 2021 Dysfunction and diseases of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are a major driver of medical care. The vagus nerve innervates and controls multiple organs of the GI tract and vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) could provide a means for affecting GI function and ...

Changes in extracellular pH during electrical stimulation of isolated rat vagus nerve [PDF]
, 1986 Double-barrelled pH-sensitive micro-electrodes were used to record changes of extracellular pH during repetitive stimulation of isolated rat vagus nerves. It was found that a small initial alkaline shift was followed by a prolonged acidification.

Integrative Approach - New Level Knowledge of Functions: Opportunities and Prospects [PDF]
, 2012 In this article, the example of the mechanisms of heart rhythmogenesis in the intact organism is used to demonstrate the new capabilities provided by an integrative approach. It is shown that the rhythm is formed in the brain, transmitted to the heart in

Open Access Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2017 BACKGROUND: The vagus nerve stimulation (vns) is an approach mainly used in cases of intractable epilepsy despite all the efforts. Also, its benefits have been shown in severe cases of depression resistant to typical treatment.AIM: The aim of this study was to present current knowledge of vagus nerve stimulation.MATERIAL AND METHODS: A new value has ...

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 ...
