Vagus Nerve Stimulation Paired With Tones Alters the Auditory Cortex Proteome in a Rat Model of Rett Syndrome. [PDF]
Dev NeurobiolABSTRACT Rett syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by an X‐linked mutation of the MeCP2 gene. Individuals with Rett syndrome, as well as rodent models of this disorder, demonstrate abnormal cortical responses to sound, which impair auditory discrimination ability.

Cognitive neurobehavior and synaptic plasticity after vagus nerve stimulation in female rats: Interaction between estrous cycle and neurostimulation [PDF]
Bioelectronic MedicineA single session of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has been shown to improve cognition in male rodents, but the influence of sex on the effects of VNS on behavior and synaptic plasticity are poorly understood.

A hybrid VNS matheuristic for a bin packing problem with a color constraint [PDF]
Yugoslav Journal of Operations Research, 2021 We study a new variant of the bin packing problem with a color constraint. Given a finite set of items, each item has a set of colors. Each bin has a color capacity, the total number of colors for a bin is the unification of colors for its items and ...

Reducing VNS stimulation parameters: Is it safe?
Brazilian Neurosurgery, 2022 Introduction Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) is an adjuvant therapy used in the treatment of patients with refractory epilepsy who are not candidates for resective surgery or who have limited results after surgical procedures.

Effect of vagus nerve stimulation against generalized seizure and status epilepticus recurrence
Frontiers in Neurology, 2023 ObjectiveVagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a palliative surgery for drug-resistant epilepsy. The two objectives of this study were to (1) determine the seizure type most responsive to VNS and (2) investigate the preventive effect on status epilepticus (SE)

Timing of vagus nerve stimulation during fear extinction determines efficacy in a rat model of PTSD
Scientific Reports, 2022 Studies have indicated that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) enhances extinction learning in rodent models. Here, we investigated if pairing VNS with the conditioned stimulus is required for the enhancing effects of VNS.
