Neural Stimulation Hardware for the Selective Intrafascicular Modulation of the Vagus Nerve [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2023
The neural stimulation of the vagus nerve is able to modulate various functions of the parasympathetic response in different organs. The stimulation of the vagus nerve is a promising approach to treating inflammatory diseases, obesity, diabetes, heart ...

Ipsilateral vagotomy to unilaterally ovariectomized pre-pubertal rats modifies compensatory ovarian responses [PDF]

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2007
The present study evaluates the participation of the vagus nerve in pre-pubertal rats with unilateral ovariectomy on puberty onset, and on progesterone, testosterone and estradiol serum levels, and the compensatory responses of the ovary.

Hepatoportal Leptin Sensors and Their Reflex Effects on Autonomic Outflow in the Rat [PDF]

Journal of Obesity, 2011
Afferent nerve signals were recorded from a peripheral cut end of the small nerve bundle of the hepatic branch of the vagus nerve in anesthetized rats. An injection of leptin (100 pg, 0.1 mL) into the portal vein facilitated the afferent activity.

Role of vagus nerve stimulation in epilepsy [PDF]

Quality in Sport
Introduction and purpose: Epilepsy affects 1% globally, with 2.6 to 6 million cases in Europe. 30-40% of the 50 million epilepsy patients globally don't respond to drugs.

The clinical spectrum of SMA‐PME and in vitro normalization of its cellular ceramide profile

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 9, Issue 12, Page 1941-1952, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Objective The objectives of this study were to define the clinical and biochemical spectrum of spinal muscular atrophy with progressive myoclonic epilepsy (SMA‐PME) and to determine if aberrant cellular ceramide accumulation could be normalized by enzyme replacement.

Familial Bainbridge‐Ropers syndrome: Report of familial ASXL3 inheritance and a milder phenotype

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 191, Issue 1, Page 29-36, January 2023., 2023
Abstract De novo truncating and splicing pathogenic variants in the Additional Sex Combs‐Like 3 (ASXL3) gene are known to cause neurodevelopmental delay, intellectual disability, behavioral difficulties, hypotonia, feeding problems and characteristic facial features.

Participation of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves in regulation of gallbladder motility in the dog. [PDF]

, 1990
The participation of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves in the canine gallbladder motility was examined. Efferent stimulation of the parasympathetic (vagus) and sympathetic (celiac) nerves caused contraction or inhibition of the neck, body and ...

Further expansion and confirmation of phenotype in rare loss of YWHAE gene distinct from Miller–Dieker syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 191, Issue 2, Page 526-539, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Deletion of 17p13.3 has varying degrees of severity on brain development based on precise location and size of the deletion. The most severe phenotype is Miller–Dieker syndrome (MDS) which is characterized by lissencephaly, dysmorphic facial features, growth failure, developmental disability, and often early death.

Recording and manipulation of vagus nerve electrical activity in chronically instrumented unanesthetized near term fetal sheep [PDF]

Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 2021, 2020
Background: The chronically instrumented pregnant sheep has been used as a model of human fetal development and responses to pathophysiologic stimuli. This is due to the unique amenability of the unanesthetized fetal sheep to the surgical placement and maintenance of catheters and electrodes, allowing repetitive blood sampling, substance injection ...
