Vagus means wandering, and the vagus nerve, after it leaves the base of the brain, sends branches to the ears, the throat, the heart, the lungs, and the digestive tract, with stops along the way ...

Personalized auricular vagus nerve stimulation: beat-to-beat deceleration dominates in systole-gated stimulation during inspiration - a pilot study. Frontiers in Physiology , 2025; 15 DOI: 10.3389 ...

Vagus Nerve Stimulation therapy is a treatment for epilepsy that involves a stimulator (or 'pulse generator') which is connected, inside the body, to the left vagus nerve in the neck. The stimulator ...

Deep breathing is one of the most effective ways to stimulate the vagus nerve. Taking slow, deep breaths can activate the nerve, helping you feel calm and relaxed. Try to breathe in a way that you ...

Table 1 Demographic and clinical characteristics of skull base chordoma patients. Diplopia caused by VI cranial nerve palsy [76 (45.5%) patients], which exhibits double vision increasing when looking ...

a midline structure in the skull base that is susceptible to various pathologies. Clival lesions can often be asymptomatic, but when symptoms do occur, they may include headaches or cranial nerve ...

Now, a new year-long trial of a treatment that involves electrically stimulating the vagus nerve has found promising results for people suffering with exactly this type of this 'treatment-resistant' ...

Given the anti-inflammatory effect of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) and its ability to promote brain plasticity, taVNS has emerged as a promising therapeutic option for SAH ...

Nervous system examination of the patient showed that his consciousness is clear but the speech is slightly vague, and the remaining cranial nerve examination proved negative. The muscle strength of ...

This differential response may be inherent to taVNS and potentially influenced by factors such as anatomical variations in the distribution of the vagus nerve at the outer ear. These findings ...
