Non-invasive Access to the Vagus Nerve Central Projections via Electrical Stimulation of the External Ear: fMRI Evidence in Humans.

TL;DR: Findings in humans provide evidence in humans that the central projections of the ABVN are consistent with the "classical" central vagal projections and can be accessed non-invasively via the external ear.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vagus Nerve and Vagus Nerve Stimulation, a Comprehensive Review: Part III.

TL;DR: Progression in VNS clinical efficacy over time suggests an underlying disease‐modifying neuromodulation, which is an emerging field in neurology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optimization of Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation Using Functional MRI.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to determine the most effective location for tVNS, and they found that stimulation at the ear canal resulted in the weakest activation of the solitary tract (NTS), the recipient of most afferent vagal projections, and a brainstem nucleus that receives direct input from the NTS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vagus Nerve Stimulation

TL;DR: VNS deserves further study for its potentially favorable effects on cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, metabolic, and other physiologic biomarkers associated with depression morbidity and mortality.

Automated Talairach Atlas labels for functional brain mapping

TL;DR: When used in concert with authors' deeper knowledge of an experiment, the TD system provides consistent and comprehensive labels for brain activation foci, which is better than that of the expert group.

Linear Systems Analysis of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Human V1

TL;DR: Results from three empirical tests support the hypothesis that fMRI responses in human primary visual cortex (V1) depend separably on stimulus timing and stimulus contrast, and the noise in the fMRI data is independent of stimulus contrast and temporal period.

Brain structural and functional abnormalities in mood disorders: implications for neurocircuitry models of depression

TL;DR: Because the MPFC and related limbic structures provide forebrain modulation over visceral control structures in the hypothalamus and brainstem, their dysfunction can account for the disturbances in autonomic regulation and neuroendocrine responses that are associated with mood disorders.
