A Photo‐Patternable Solid‐State Electrolyte for High‐Performance, Miniaturized, and Implantable Organic Electrochemical Transistor‐Based Circuits

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A photo‐patternable solid‐state electrolyte based on 𝜄‐carrageenan (𝜄‐CGN) and poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) is developed to enable high‐performance complementary OECT circuits. The successful demonstration of fully implanted devices for vagus nerve stimulation in mice highlights solid‐state 𝜄‐CGN‐based electrolytes as a promising platform ...

Non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation in epilepsy patients enhances cooperative behavior in the prisoner’s dilemma task

Scientific Reports, 2022
The vagus nerve constitutes a key link between the autonomic and the central nervous system. Previous studies provide evidence for the impact of vagal activity on distinct cognitive processes including functions related to social cognition.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Seizures

Archives of Medical Research, 2000
It is agreed that 1% of the general population is afflicted with epilepsy and close to 30% of epilepsy patients are intractable to medications. In spite of a recent increase in the number of new medications that are available on the market, many patients continue to have seizures or their seizures are controlled at the expense of intolerable side ...

Autonomous Implants

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An ideal implant should mimic native tissues such that it can integrate, sense, heal, and continue to function, i.e., be autonomous. Although early, there are good steps taken in this way, e.g., the development of stimuli‐responsive, self‐powering, self‐actuating, self‐healing, self‐regenerating, and self‐aware implants.

Differential effects of vagus nerve stimulation strategies on glycemia and pancreatic secretions

Physiological Reports, 2020
Despite advancements in pharmacotherapies, glycemia is poorly controlled in type 2 diabetic patients. As the vagus nerve regulates energy metabolism, here we evaluated the effect various electrical vagus nerve stimulation strategies have on glycemia and ...
