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.

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.

Schwannomatosis of Cervical Vagus Nerve [PDF]

Case Reports in Surgery, 2016
Cervical vagal schwannoma is a rare entity among lesions presenting as a neck mass. They are usually slow-growing benign lesions closely associated with the vagus nerve. They are usually solitary and asymptomatic. Multiple schwannomas occurring in patients without neurofibromatosis (NF) are rare and have recently been referred to as schwannomatosis ...

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 ...

Organization of the Subdiaphragmatic Vagus Nerve and Its Connection with the Celiac Plexus and the Ovaries in the Female Rat

Brain Sciences, 2023
Communication between the ovaries and the central nervous system occurs by peripheral innervation through the celiac plexus, superior ovarian nerve, and ovarian plexus nerve.

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.

A key role of the subdiaphragmatic vagus nerve in the depression-like phenotype and abnormal composition of gut microbiota in mice after lipopolysaccharide administration

Translational Psychiatry, 2020
The vagus nerve plays a role in the cross talk between the brain and gut microbiota, which could be involved in depression. The subdiaphragmatic vagus nerve serves as a major modulatory pathway between the brain and gut microbiota.
