Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation: a new strategy for Alzheimer’s disease intervention through the brain-gut-microbiota axis?

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience
Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) is an emerging non-invasive technique designed to stimulate branches of the vagus nerve distributed over the body surface.

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 ...

The baroreceptor reflex emanating from the carotid sinus and common carotid artery of the sheep : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Physiology at Massey University [PDF]

open access: yes, 1987
The aim of this project was to improve understanding of the role of the common carotid arterial baroreceptor mechanism in controlling peripheral blood pressure in the sheep.

Macrophage TNF-α mediates parathion-induced airway hyperreactivity in guinea pigs. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) are implicated in human asthma. We previously demonstrated that, at concentrations that do not inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity, the OP parathion causes airway hyperreactivity in guinea pigs as a result of ...

Intestinal microbiome alterations in pediatric epilepsy: Implications for seizures and therapeutic approaches

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The intestinal microbiome plays a pivotal role in maintaining host health through its involvement in gastrointestinal, immune, and central nervous system (CNS) functions. Recent evidence underscores the bidirectional communication between the microbiota, the gut, and the brain and the impact of this axis on neurological diseases, including ...

Personalized multichannel transcranial direct current electrical stimulation (tDCS) in drug‐resistant epilepsy: A SEEG based open‐labeled study

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To evaluate the effects of personalized multichannel tDCS on seizure frequency, severity, quality of life, and psychiatric comorbidities in patients with drug‐resistant focal epilepsy. Secondary goals include assessing the safety and feasibility of this approach.

Resting‐state functional connectivity changes with microburst vagus nerve stimulation therapy

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Microburst vagus nerve stimulation (μVNS) may reduce seizure frequency in drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) via targeted thalamic plasticity. We prospectively investigated the role of thalamic resting‐state functional connectivity (rsFC) in μVNS effects and hypothesized a relationship between thalamic rsFC and long‐term seizure frequency
