The authors provide a solid set of data supporting the safety of transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation on cardiovascular parameters in the acute setting of critically ill patients ...

This study evaluated the role of transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation (taVNS) in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) randomized to taVNS vs sham, finding that those with active ...

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) shows a positive treatment effect and improved quality of life (QoL) among patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD), according to two studies published ...

In addition, the researchers want to continue the trial for another four years, and see if the benefits are particularly noticeable in certain groups of people. "The nice thing about vagus nerve ...

The term "God complex" is used to describe a person who believes they have exceptional power or authority and are superior to others. It is not considered a mental illness on its own, per the ...

For the first time, biologists made it happen in the lab. Far from being solo operators, most single-celled microbes are in complex relationships. In the ocean, the soil and your gut, they might ...

Therefore, we propose multi-electrodes ankle nerve bundle electrical stimulation method, which can generate the distribution of tactile sensations on the plantar and dorsal surfaces of the foot by ...

The hypothalamus integrates neurohormonal signaling from gut and adipose tissue. Specific hypothalamic nuclei, including the dorsomedial nucleus (DMN), paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and ...

Fully connected neural networks in the infinite-width limit often outperform finite-width models, while convolutional networks excel at finite widths. Here, the authors uncover how convolutional ...

To assess response selection and sequence learning, participants performed an adapted SRT task (Vaquero et al., 2006) presented using E-Prime 2.0 software (Psychology Software Tools, Inc., Pittsburgh, ...

According to new work from The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in Manhasset, New York, it is possible to “use” the vagus nerve to help treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other conditions.
