Brain Sciences, 2021 Objective: The effectiveness of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) for residual seizures after corpus callosotomy (CC) has not yet been fully investigated. We hypothesized that seizure control would be improved by VNS after CC.

Stochastic vagus nerve stimulation affects acute heart rate dynamics in rats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an approved therapy for treatment of epilepsy and depression. While also shown to be promising in several preclinical and clinical studies to treat cardiovascular diseases, optimal therapeutic stimulation paradigms are ...

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)

Vagus nerve stimulation paired with tactile training improved sensory function in a chronic stroke patient [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Recent studies indicate that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) paired with rehabilitation can enhance neural plasticity in the primary sensory and motor cortices, improve forelimb function after stroke in animal models and improve motor function ...

Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Refractory Epilepsy: Effects on Pro- and Anti-Inflammatory Cytokines in Peripheral Blood [PDF]
, 2010 Objective: The vagus nerve has important immunological functions that may be relevant for its anticonvulsive action. We postulate that this anticonvulsive action is activated by a shift in the immune system resulting in a reduction of neurotoxic and an ...

A VNS-based approach for solving the Manhattan metric straddle carrier routing problem with buffer areas [PDF]
Yugoslav Journal of Operations ResearchThis paper presents a metaheuristic approach for solving an optimization problem that arises at container terminals where straddle carriers (SCs) transport containers between the stacking areas and the seaside.
