Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an established form of neuromodulation with a long history
of promising applications. Earliest reports of VNS in the literature date to the late 1800's in …

Movement abnormalities of Parkinson's disease (PD) arise from disordered neural activity in
multiple interconnected brain structures. The planning and execution of movement requires …

Chronic stress constitutes a major risk factor for depression that can disrupt various aspects
of homeostasis, including the gut microbiome (GM). We have recently shown that GM …

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a neuromodulation therapy for a broad and expanding set
of neurologic conditions. However, the mechanism through which VNS influences central …

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is used for management of a variety of neurological
conditions, although the therapeutic mechanisms are not fully understood. Accumulating …

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 …

The locus coeruleus (LC) is a small brainstem structure located in the lower pons and is the
main source of noradrenaline (NA) in the brain. Via its phasic and tonic firing, it modulates …

An ongoing debate surrounding transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) of the scalp is
whether it modulates brain activity both directly and in a regionally constrained manner …

Introduction Disorders of consciousness (DoCs) are a frequent complication of brain injury
disease, and effective treatments are currently lacking. Transauricular vagus nerve …

After sensory information is encoded into neural signals at the periphery, it is processed
through multiple brain regions before perception occurs (ie, sensory processing). Recent …
