Electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve protects against cerebral ischemic injury through an anti-infammatory mechanism

Neural Regeneration Research, 2015
Vagus nerve stimulation exerts protective effects against ischemic brain injury; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, a rat model of focal cerebral ischemia was established using the occlusion method, and the right vagus ...

Gut‐microbiota‐brain Axis and post‐traumatic epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract There has been growing evidence that perturbations in gut‐microbiota‐brain axis (GMBA) are involved in mechanisms of chronic sequelae of traumatic brain injury (TBI). This review discusses the connection between GMBA and post‐traumatic epilepsy (PTE), the latter being a common outcome of TBI.

Stress-induced vagal activity influences anxiety-relevant prefrontal and amygdala neuronal oscillations in male mice

Nature Communications
The vagus nerve crucially affects emotions and psychiatric disorders. However, the detailed neurophysiological dynamics of the vagus nerve in response to emotions and its associated pathological changes remain unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that

Intestinal microbiome alterations in pediatric epilepsy: Implications for seizures and therapeutic approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The intestinal microbiome plays a pivotal role in maintaining host health through its involvement in gastrointestinal, immune, and central nervous system (CNS) functions. Recent evidence underscores the bidirectional communication between the microbiota, the gut, and the brain and the impact of this axis on neurological diseases, including ...

Personalized multichannel transcranial direct current electrical stimulation (tDCS) in drug‐resistant epilepsy: A SEEG based open‐labeled study

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To evaluate the effects of personalized multichannel tDCS on seizure frequency, severity, quality of life, and psychiatric comorbidities in patients with drug‐resistant focal epilepsy. Secondary goals include assessing the safety and feasibility of this approach.

Resting‐state functional connectivity changes with microburst vagus nerve stimulation therapy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Microburst vagus nerve stimulation (μVNS) may reduce seizure frequency in drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) via targeted thalamic plasticity. We prospectively investigated the role of thalamic resting‐state functional connectivity (rsFC) in μVNS effects and hypothesized a relationship between thalamic rsFC and long‐term seizure frequency
