Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound Stimulation of the Vagus Nerve for Modulation of the Inflammatory Reflex Assessed in Rats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Major depressive disorder (MDD) affects approximately 300 million people globally, with over 15% having treatment-resistant depression (TRD). People with depression have elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, especially tumor necrosis factor ...

Changes in extracellular pH during electrical stimulation of isolated rat vagus nerve [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

A new Crocodyloidea from the middle Eocene of Zamora (Duero Basin, Spain)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The eusuchian crocodyliforms recorded in the Eocene levels of the Spanish Duero Basin belong to three lineages: Planocraniidae, with the species Duerosuchus piscator; Alligatoroidea, represented by several specimens of the genus Diplocynodon; and Crocodyloidea, which includes several specimens traditionally attributed to Asiatosuchus.

Vagal nerve stimulation therapy: what is being stimulated? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Vagal nerve stimulation in cardiac therapy involves delivering electrical current to the vagal sympathetic complex in patients experiencing heart failure. The therapy has shown promise but the mechanisms by which any benefit accrues is not understood. In

Electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve protects against cerebral ischemic injury through an anti-infammatory mechanism

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2015
Vagus nerve stimulation exerts protective effects against ischemic brain injury; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, a rat model of focal cerebral ischemia was established using the occlusion method, and the right vagus ...
