Selective Neuromodulation of the Vagus Nerve [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an effective technique for the treatment of refractory epilepsy and shows potential for the treatment of a range of other serious conditions. However, until now stimulation has generally been supramaximal and non-selective, resulting in a range of side effects.

Neurofibrosarcoma of the vagus nerve [PDF]
Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1983 Summary A patient whose symptoms of cough and intermittent hoarseness were due to a neurofibrosarcoma of the vagus nerve is described. Attention is drawn to the rarity of the tumour and a short review of the pathology and treatment of neurofibrosarcoma is discussed.

Neurosurgical Focus, 2009 Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a key tool in the treatment of patients with medically refractory epilepsy. Although the mechanism of action of VNS remains poorly understood, this modality is now the most widely used nonpharmacological treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy.

Vagus nerve stimulation and cognition [PDF]
Seizure, 2006 Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has been developed as an add-on treatment for patients with refractory epilepsy. Based on the clinical observation of improved cognition in many epilepsy patients who received VNS, we reviewed the recent literature for evidence concerning the cognitive effects of this treatment.

Schwannomatosis of Cervical Vagus Nerve [PDF]
Case Reports in Surgery, 2016 Cervical vagal schwannoma is a rare entity among lesions presenting as a neck mass. They are usually slow-growing benign lesions closely associated with the vagus nerve. They are usually solitary and asymptomatic. Multiple schwannomas occurring in patients without neurofibromatosis (NF) are rare and have recently been referred to as schwannomatosis ...

Physiology & Behavior, 2004 This paper reviews the experiments, which demonstrate conclusively the involvement of the abdominal vagus nerve in normal expression of most aspects of thirst in rats, by Gerard P. Smith and his colleagues published between 1975 and 1984. The nature of that vagal contribution differs with the type of primary thirst signal.

Current Behavioral Neuroscience Reports, 2014 The vagus nerve is a major component of the autonomic nervous system, has an important role in the regulation of metabolic homeostasis, and plays a key role in the neuroendocrine-immune axis to maintain homeostasis through its afferent and efferent pathways.
