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

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 …

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 …

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 …

Recent animal research has shown that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) paired with sound
stimuli can induce neural plasticity in the auditory cortex in a controlled manner. VNS paired …

Chronic sensory loss is a common and undertreated consequence of many forms of
neurological injury. Emerging evidence indicates that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) …

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) paired with motor rehabilitation enhances recovery of
function after neurological injury in rats and humans. This effect is ascribed to VNS …

The vagus nerve serves as a critical connection between the central nervous system and
internal organs. Originally known for its effectiveness in treating refractory epilepsy, vagus …

Stroke is the second most common cause of death worldwide and its prevalence is projected
to increase in the coming years in parallel with the increase of life expectancy. Despite the …

Stroke often leaves lasting impairments affecting orofacial function. While speech therapy is
able to enhance function after stroke, many patients see only modest improvements after …
