How to fail with paired VNS therapy

Brain Stimulation, 2023
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has gained enormous traction as a promising bioelectronic therapy. In particular, the delivery of VNS paired with training to promote neural changes has demonstrated clinical success for stroke recovery and found far ...

Exploiting Separators for Guiding VNS [PDF]

Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics, 2012
This paper presents two extensions for DGVNS (Decomposition Guided VNS) method, that exploit both the graph of clusters and separators between these clusters, to efficiently guide the exploration of large neighborhoods in VNS. Experiments performed on challenging instances of the tagSNP selection problem show the appropriateness and the efficiency of ...

Vagus nerve stimulation therapy in people with drug-resistant epilepsy (CORE-VNS): Rationale and design of a real-world post-market comprehensive outcomes registry [PDF]

, 2021
Introduction The Vagus Nerve Stimulation Therapy System (VNS Therapy) is an adjunctive neuromodulatory therapy that can be efficacious in reducing the frequency and severity of seizures in people with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE).

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.

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)

Vagal nerve stimulation preserves right ventricular function in a rat model of right ventricular pressure overload

Pulmonary Circulation, 2022
Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) ameliorates pulmonary vascular remodeling and improves survival in a rat model of pulmonary hypertension (PH). However, the direct impact of VNS on right ventricular (RV) function, which is the key predictor of PH patients ...
