Forced normalization after turning off vagus nerve stimulation in Lennox–Gastaut syndrome

Epilepsy and Behavior Case Reports, 2019
Forced normalization is the development of psychiatric symptoms in a patient experiencing remission of seizures. We present a case of Lennox Gastaut syndrome in which forced normalization developed after vagus nerve stimulation was stopped.The patient ...

The vagus nerve and thirst

Physiology & Behavior, 2004
This paper reviews the experiments, which demonstrate conclusively the involvement of the abdominal vagus nerve in normal expression of most aspects of thirst in rats, by Gerard P. Smith and his colleagues published between 1975 and 1984. The nature of that vagal contribution differs with the type of primary thirst signal.

Organ-Specific Activation of the Gastric Branch of the Efferent Vagus Nerve by Ghrelin in Urethane-Anesthetized Rats

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2014
.: Ghrelin plays multiple physiological roles such as growth hormone secretion and exerting orexigenic actions; however, its physiological roles in the electrical activity of autonomic nerves remain unclear.

Fetal topography of branches of the cervical and thoracic divisions of the vagus nerves

Zaporožskij Medicinskij Žurnal, 2020
The study of age and individual anatomical variability of vagus nerves and their branches in different age periods of human ontogenesis causes interest among both morphologists and doctors of different specialties. The aim of the study.

Combined minimally invasive vagal cranial nerve and trigeminocervical complex peripheral nerve stimulation produces prolonged improvement of severe painful peripheral neuropathy and hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes

Frontiers in Neuroscience
IntroductionDiabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN), a debilitating complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), stems from bioenergetic failure and reduced vascular endothelial growth factor-A expression (VEGF-A), persisting despite optimal glycemic ...

Two paths to the body’s superhighway—the auricular branch (taVNS) and the cervical bundle (tcVNS): a narrative review

Frontiers in Neuroscience
Interest in the vagus nerve has recently surged, particularly with the advent of non-invasive transcutaneous VNS (tVNS), which has broadened access and facilitated research across a range of conditions including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder

Vagus nerve stimulation is a potential treatment for ischemic stroke

Neural Regeneration Research, 2023
Microglia are the brain’s primary innate immune cells, and they are activated and affect pro-inflammatory phenotype or regulatory phenotype after ischemic stroke.

Human organ donor-derived vagus nerve biopsies allow for well-preserved ultrastructure and high-resolution mapping of myelinated and unmyelinated fibers

Scientific Reports, 2021
The vagus nerve provides motor, sensory, and autonomic innervation of multiple organs, and electrical vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) provides an adjunctive treatment option for e.g. medication-refractory epilepsy and treatment-resistant depression.

Do the psychological effects of vagus nerve stimulation partially mediate vagal pain modulation?

Neurobiology of Pain, 2017
There is preclinical and clinical evidence that vagus nerve stimulation modulates both pain and mood state. Mechanistic studies show brainstem circuitry involved in pain modulation by vagus nerve stimulation, but little is known about possible indirect ...
