Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022 Significance Resolution of inflammation is an active process that restores tissue homeostasis and prevents the development of chronic inflammatory diseases. The mechanisms that regulate resolution of inflammation are only partially understood.

The cross-sectional area of the vagus nerve is not reduced in Parkinson's disease patients
eNeurologicalSci, 2022 Background: Recent studies have revealed the importance of the gut brain axis in the development of Parkinson's disease (PD). It has also been suggested that the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the vagus nerve can be used in the diagnosis of PD.

Clinical perspectives on vagus nerve stimulation: present and future
Clinical science, 2022 The vagus nerve, the great wanderer, is involved in numerous processes throughout the body and vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has the potential to modulate many of these functions.

Therapeutic Potential of Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 The vagus nerve is a mixed nerve, comprising 80% afferent fibers and 20% efferent fibers. It allows a bidirectional communication between the central nervous system and the digestive tract. It has a dual anti-inflammatory properties via activation of the

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020 Several studies have illustrated that transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) can elicit therapeutic effects that are similar to those produced by its invasive counterpart, vagus nerve stimulation (VNS).

Decoding Vagus-Nerve Activity with Carbon Nanotube Sensors in Freely Moving Rodents
Biosensors, 2022 The vagus nerve is the largest autonomic nerve and a major target of stimulation therapies for a wide variety of chronic diseases. However, chronic recording from the vagus nerve has been limited, leading to significant gaps in our understanding of vagus

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.

A Comprehensive Review of Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Depression.
Neuromodulation (Malden, Mass.), 2021 OBJECTIVES Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is reemerging as an exciting form of brain stimulation, due in part to the development of its noninvasive counterpart transcutaneous auricular VNS.

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.
