Vagus Nerve Stimulation In Hypertensive Rats: Assessing Pathophysiology Using ECG And Pressure Data
… not all patients respond to current medications. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), which aims to restore autonomic balance, has emerged as a promising new treatment for this disease. In our lab, we conducted an experimental study aimed at assessing the safety and efficacy of chronic, continuously …

Simply (neuro-)stimulating: The effects of transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation on phonological and lexical tone learning indexed by behavior and pupillometry
… that could augment learning is non-invasive neurostimulation. Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is a type of safe, non-invasive neurostimulation that delivers electrical current to the ear canal that has been shown to enhance cognition and learning (e.g., Jacobs et al., …

Neuromodulation in Experimetal Animal Models of Epilepsy
… treatment strategies like epilepsy surgery, vagus nerve stimulation and deep brain stimulation. Besides the ongoing research on the efficacy of anti-epileptic treatments in suppressing seizures (anti-seizure effect), we want to seek for therapies that can lead to plastic changes in the …

Translational Modeling of Non-Invasive Electrical Stimulation
… effect of low amplitude non-invasive electrical stimulation in people using neurophysiological measures (motor evoked potentials, MEPs). Clinical applications of transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) have since proliferated, though the mechanisms are not fully understood. Efforts to …

Wireless tools for neuromodulation
… are medically refractory or drug resistant. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) and deep brain stimulation (DBS) are the only FDA approved device based therapies. Neither therapy offers complete seizure freedom in a majority of users. Novel methodologies are needed to better understand mechanisms …

Optimizing the neural response to electrical stimulation and exploring new applications of neurostimulation
<p>Electrical stimulation has been successful in treating patients who suffer from neurologic and neuropsychiatric disorders that are resistant to standard treatments. For deep brain stimulation (DBS), its official approved use has been limited to mainly motor disorders, such as Parkinson's disease …

INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE EFFECTS OF ELECTRICAL STIMULATION OF THE VAGUS NERVE ON NOREPINEPHRINE IN THE CORTEX AND HIPPOCAMPUS OF EXPERIMENTALLY BRAIN INJURED AND UNINJURED RATS
The vagus nerve is the principal pathway by which autonomic sensory information is carried from the periphery to the CNS where it influences the activity of a numerous structures including the locus coeruleus. Electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve has been demonstrated to enhance performance in …

The gut microbiome: a contributing mechanism to the anti-seizure effect of topiramate
… alternative treatments, which include surgery, vagus nerve stimulation, or diet alterations such as the ketogenic diet. Due to the invasiveness of surgeries, difficulty to maintain specialty diets, or lack of effectiveness of these treatments in some patients, additional therapies are needed. …

Estimulador do nervo vago: taxa e predição de resposta em pacientes adultos e crianças com epilepsia farmacorresistente
… A terapia estimulação do nervo vago (VNS - Vagus Nerve Stimulation) é uma terapia de neuromodulação que consiste na aplicação de estímulos elétricos sob o nervo vago, e é aprovada como tratamento adjuvante para epilepsias refratárias na Europa (1994), Estados Unidos (1997) e Brasil (2000). …
