Vagal nerve stimulation therapy: what is being stimulated? [PDF]

, 2014
Vagal nerve stimulation in cardiac therapy involves delivering electrical current to the vagal sympathetic complex in patients experiencing heart failure. The therapy has shown promise but the mechanisms by which any benefit accrues is not understood. In

Antiarrhythmic and proarrhythmic effects of subcutaneous nerve stimulation in ambulatory dogs [PDF]

, 2019
Background High output subcutaneous nerve stimulation (ScNS) remodels the stellate ganglia and suppresses cardiac arrhythmia. Objective To test the hypothesis that long duration low output ScNS causes cardiac nerve sprouting, increases plasma ...

tVNS Increases Liking of Orally Sampled Low-Fat Foods: A Pilot Study

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2020
Recently a role for the vagus nerve in conditioning food preferences was established in rodents. In a prospective controlled clinical trial in humans, invasive vagus nerve stimulation shifted food choice toward lower fat content. Here we explored whether

Automated tracing of myelinated axons and detection of the nodes of Ranvier in serial images of peripheral nerves [PDF]

, 2015
The development of realistic neuroanatomical models of peripheral nerves for simulation purposes requires the reconstruction of the morphology of the myelinated fibres in the nerve, including their nodes of Ranvier.

First‐in‐human microelectrode recordings from the vagus nerve during clinical vagus nerve stimulation

Epilepsia Open
Introduction 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 ...

How Does the Body Affect the Mind? Role of Cardiorespiratory Coherence in the Spectrum of Emotions [PDF]

, 2015
The brain is considered to be the primary generator and regulator of emotions; however, afferent signals originating throughout the body are detected by the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and brainstem, and, in turn, can modulate emotional processes ...
