Gut-brain-crosstalk- the vagus nerve and the microbiota-gut-brain axis in depression. A narrative review

Journal of Affective Disorders Reports, 2023
This narrative review summarizes key aspects of vagus nerve function as a main player in the microbiota-gut-brain axis in depression. Gut microbes as well as their metabolites signal directly to the vagus nerve via specialized enteroendocrine cells ...

Vagus Nerve Stimulation [PDF]

Proceedings of the IEEE, 2008
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a safe and reliable treatment adjunct for patients with medically intractable epilepsy. It is both a preventive and an abortive form of therapy, potentially effective against both partial and generalized seizures in adults and children.

Cross-sectional area of the vagus nerve on carotid duplex ultrasound and atrial fibrillation in acute stroke: A retrospective analysis

eNeurologicalSci, 2021
Introduction: The autonomic nervous system, including the vagus nerve, is associated with the development of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the association between the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the vagus nerve on ultrasound and the presence of AF

Role of Vagus Nerve Stimulation in the Treatment of Chronic Pain

Neuroimmunomodulation, 2023
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) can modulate vagal activity and neuro-immune communication. Human and animal studies have provided growing evidence that VNS can produce analgesic effects in addition to alleviating refractory epilepsy and depression.
