First‐in‐human microelectrode recordings from the vagus nerve during clinical vagus nerve stimulation [PDF]
Epilepsia OpenIntroduction Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an effective treatment for people with drug‐resistant epilepsy. However, its mechanisms of action are poorly understood, including which nerve fibers are activated in humans during VNS in typical clinical ...

Vagus nerve stimulation boosts the drive to work for rewards
Nature Communications, 2020 The vagus nerve transmits signals between the gut and the brain thereby tuning motivated behavior to physiological needs. Here, the authors show that acute non-invasive stimulation of the vagus nerve via the ear enhances the invigoration of effort for ...

Tiagabine-induced encephalopathy suppressed by vagus nerve stimulation: A case report [PDF]
Epilepsy & Behavior ReportsTiagabine has been associated with reports of status epilepticus as well as encephalopathy, even when used within therapeutic doses. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has been used successfully to reduce seizure frequency in the outpatient setting as well as

Role of Vagus Nerve Stimulation in the Treatment of Chronic Pain
Neuroimmunomodulation, 2023 Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) can modulate vagal activity and neuro-immune communication. Human and animal studies have provided growing evidence that VNS can produce analgesic effects in addition to alleviating refractory epilepsy and depression.

Neuroimmunomodulation of vagus nerve stimulation and the therapeutic implications
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2023 Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a technology that provides electrical stimulation to the cervical vagus nerve and can be applied in the treatment of a wide variety of neuropsychiatric and systemic diseases.
