Neural Regeneration Research, 2022 Previous studies have shown that vagus nerve stimulation can improve patients’ locomotor function. The stimulation of the auricular vagus nerve, which is the only superficial branch of the vagus nerve, may have similar effects to vagus nerve stimulation.

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.

Vagus nerve stimulation drives selective circuit modulation through cholinergic reinforcement
Neuron, 2022 Summary Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a neuromodulation therapy for a broad and expanding set of neurologic conditions. Yet, the mechanism through which VNS influences central nervous system circuitry is not well described, limiting therapeutic ...

Open Access Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2017 BACKGROUND: The vagus nerve stimulation (vns) is an approach mainly used in cases of intractable epilepsy despite all the efforts. Also, its benefits have been shown in severe cases of depression resistant to typical treatment.AIM: The aim of this study was to present current knowledge of vagus nerve stimulation.MATERIAL AND METHODS: A new value has ...

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.
