The Role of the Vagus Nerve in Depressive Disorders: A Literature Review and the Potential of Vagotomy to Create a Depression Phenotype in Rodents

Acta Medica Bulgarica
Major depressive disorder (MDD) affects 280 million people worldwide and is a major global health burden due to its link with suicide, physical comorbidities, and inadequate response to pharmacotherapy in many patients. The monoamine theory of depression

Effects of vagal nerve stimulation parameters on heart rate variability in epilepsy patients

Frontiers in Neurology
IntroductionVagal nerve stimulation (VNS) is used as an alternative treatment in drug-resistant epilepsy patients. Effects of VNS on the cardiac autonomic system are controversial.

Artificial intelligence for adaptive neuromodulation in drug‐resistant epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) affects nearly one third of people with epilepsy and is associated with substantial cognitive, psychiatric, and mortality burdens. For patients who are not candidates for resection or laser interstitial thermal therapy, neuromodulation therapies such as vagus nerve stimulation, deep brain stimulation, and ...

Bi-level VNS therapy with different therapy modes at night and daytime improves seizures and quality of life in a patient with drug-resistant epilepsy

Epilepsy & Behavior Reports, 2023
Induction or aggravation of sleep apnea is a known side effect of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS). We report the case of a 44 year old male with drug-resistant epilepsy and depression who did not experience any seizure reduction after 1 year of VNS but a ...

Stereo‐electroencephalography–guided cross‐electrode radiofrequency thermocoagulation in focal epilepsy: A review of current methodologies and outcomes

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Advances in stereo‐electroencephalography–guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation (SEEG‐guided RFTC) have led to the development of cross‐electrode RFTC, which has been shown to result in significantly larger lesions and higher seizure‐freedom rates compared to standard RFTC methods.

Effects of Noninvasive Cervical Vagal Nerve Stimulation on Cognitive Performance But Not Brain Activation in Healthy Adults

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract Objectives While preliminary evidence suggests that noninvasive vagal nerve stimulation (nVNS) may enhance cognition, to our knowledge, no study has directly assessed the effects of nVNS on brain function and cognitive performance in healthy individuals.

Management of ring chromosome 20 syndrome: Narrative review and consensus recommendations

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Ring chromosome 20 (ring 20) is a rare genetic condition usually presenting as developmental and epileptic encephalopathy. The disease is caused by fusion of the long and short arms of chromosome 20. Patients are symptomatic even if there is no loss of genetic material.

Effect of epileptogenesis on hypercapnic cardioventilatory response in kainic acid rats

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Cardioventilatory failure is the leading mechanism proposed to underlie sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), which occurs predominantly at night in patients with generalized tonic–clonic seizures. Interictal hypercapnic cardioventilatory responses are suggested to be involved, as they are ablated in chronically epileptic ...

Add‐on treatment with vinpocetine reduces seizure frequency and improves comorbidities in patients with loss‐of‐function γ‐aminobutyric acid type A receptor variants

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The semisynthetic compound vinpocetine has gained attention as a potential precision medicine for developmental and epileptic encephalopathies caused by loss‐of‐function (LoF) variants in γ‐aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor genes. As a positive allosteric modulator of GABAA receptors, case reports suggest that vinpocetine can

Pediatric epilepsy surgery: Global survey of referral and presurgical evaluation practices

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Pediatric epilepsy surgery is well established, but contemporary global data on referral and presurgical evaluation practices are lacking. This International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery Task Force study provides an updated overview of current trends and regional differences. Methods Group‐level data were
