The cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway is the efferent arm of the inflammatory reflex, a
neural circuit through which the CNS can modulate peripheral immune responses. Signals …

Brain diseases, including neurodegenerative, cerebrovascular and neuropsychiatric
diseases, have posed a deleterious threat to human health and brought a great burden to …

Background Long-term loss of arm function after ischaemic stroke is common and might be
improved by vagus nerve stimulation paired with rehabilitation. We aimed to determine …

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has emerged as a therapy to treat a wide range of
neurological disorders, including epilepsy, depression, stroke, and tinnitus. Activation of …

Background and Purpose—Chronic impairment of the arm and hand is a common
consequence of stroke. Animal and human studies indicate that brief bursts of vagus nerve …

Stroke is a leading cause of disability worldwide, and in approximately 60% of individuals,
upper limb deficits persist 6 months after stroke. These deficits adversely affect the functional …

Background. Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is regarded as a
potential method for recovery in stroke. The effectiveness of taVNS in acute and subacute …

The vagus nerve plays an important role in maintaining physiological homeostasis, which
includes reflex pathways that regulate cardiac function. The link between vagus nerve …

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) paired with forelimb training drives robust, specific
reorganization of movement representations in the motor cortex. This effect is hypothesized …

Recovery from serious neurological injury requires substantial rewiring of neural circuits.
Precisely-timed electrical stimulation could be used to restore corrective feedback …
