Objective. Given current clinical interest in vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), there are surprisingly few studies characterizing the anatomy of the vagus nerve in large animal …
Electrical stimulation of the cervical vagus nerve using implanted electrodes (VNS) is FDA- approved for the treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy, treatment-resistant depression, and …
Introduction Despite detailed characterization of fascicular organization of somatic nerves, the functional anatomy of fascicles evident in human and large mammal cervical vagus …
Glial cells are critically important for maintenance of neuronal activity in the central nervous system (CNS), including the optic nerve (ON). However, the ON has several unique …
We engineered a transdermal neuromodulation approach that targets peripheral (cranial and spinal) nerves and utilizes their afferent pathways as signaling conduits to influence …

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation method that has been used to alter cognition in hundreds of experiments. During tDCS, a low …
Today, medical equipment or general-purpose devices such as smart-watches or smart- textiles can acquire a person's vital signs. Regardless of the type of device and its purpose …
The adaptability of the central nervous system has been revealed in several model systems. Of particular interest to central nervous system-injured individuals is the ability for neural …
