Optimal management of seizures associated with tuberous sclerosis complex: current and emerging options. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Seizures are clinically significant manifestations associated with 79%-90% of patients with tuberous sclerosis complex. Often occurring within the first year of life in the form of infantile spasms, seizures interfere with neuropsychiatric, social, and ...

Non-invasive Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation as a Potential Treatment for Covid19-Originated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2020
Background: Covid-19 is an infectious disease caused by an invasion of the alveolar epithelial cells by coronavirus 19. The most severe outcome of the disease is the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) combined with hypoxemia and cardiovascular ...

Conduction of activity between muscles in the terminal region of the common bile duct and in the neighboring duodenum [PDF]

open access: yes, 1976
The relationship between muscle activity at the terminal region of the common bile duct and the duodenal muscle was examined in rabbits. The rhythmic muscle activity in the terminal region was synchronous with duodenal muscle activity.

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

open access: yesNeural 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 ...

Sympathetic components in left and right human cervical vagus nerve: implications for vagus nerve stimulation

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2023
Cervical vagus nerve stimulation is in a great variety of clinical situations indicated as a form of treatment. It is textbook knowledge that at the cervical level the vagus nerve contains many different fiber classes. Yet, recently, several reports have

The homuncular jigsaw: investigations of phantom limb and body awareness following brachial plexus block or avulsion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Many neuropsychological theories agree that the brain maintains a relatively persistent representation of one's own body, as indicated by vivid "phantom" experiences.

The Present and Future of Vagus Nerve Stimulation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Korean Neurosurgical Society, 2019
Epilepsy is one of the major chronic neurological diseases affecting many patients. Resection surgery is the most effective therapy for medically intractable epilepsy, but it is not feasible in all patients. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an adjunctive neuromodulation therapy that was approved in 1997 for the alleviation of seizures; however, efforts

Average reference recording from the vagal nerve reveals an evoked indirect response [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The vagal nerve conveys information from and to many organs, including the heart. The components of the compound action potentials (CAPs) recorded from the vagal nerve give information about the different fiber types present.

Vagus nerve stimulation for epilepsy

open access: yesRinsho Shinkeigaku, 2011
Vagus nerve stimulation is the first electrical stimulation therapy for epilepsy. While its clinical use was approved by the European Union in 1994 and by the United States in 1997, it was approved last year and coverage by public insurance started last July in Japan.
