A novel statistical methodology for quantifying the spatial arrangements of axons in peripheral nerves [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 A thorough understanding of the neuroanatomy of peripheral nerves is required for a better insight into their function and the development of neuromodulation tools and strategies. In biophysical modeling, it is commonly assumed that the complex spatial arrangement of myelinated and unmyelinated axons in peripheral nerves is random, however, in reality ...

Vagus nerve manipulation and microglial plasticity in the prenatal brain [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The efferent and afferent effects of the vagus nerve on the developing brain have remained enigmatic. Here we review the evidence of such effects on microglial plasticity in the sheep model of human fetal development, one of the most recognized and deployed models of human fetal physiology.

Analysing vagus nerve spontaneous activity using finite element modelling [PDF]
, 2021 Objective. Finite element modelling has been widely used to understand the effect of stimulation on the nerve fibres. Yet the literature on analysis of spontaneous nerve activity is much scarcer.

Model-based geometrical optimisation and in vivo validation of a spatially selective multielectrode cuff array for vagus nerve neuromodulation [PDF]
, 2019 Background. Neuromodulation by electrical stimulation of the human cervical vagus nerve may be limited by adverse side effects due to stimulation of off-target organs. It may be possible to overcome this by spatially selective stimulation of peripheral nerves.

A High-Frequency Flexible Ultrasonic Cuff Implant for High-Precision Vagus Nerve Ultrasound Neuromodulation [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 In the emerging research field of bioelectronic medicine, it has been indicated that neuromodulation of the Vagus Nerve (VN) has the potential to treat various conditions such as epilepsy, depression, and autoimmune diseases. In order to reduce side effects, as well as to increase the effectiveness of the delivered therapy, subfascicle 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.
