Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has gained enormous traction as a promising bioelectronic
therapy. In particular, the delivery of VNS paired with training to promote neural changes has …

Background Long-term loss of arm function after ischaemic stroke is common and might be
improved by vagus nerve stimulation paired with rehabilitation. We aimed to determine …

Ischemic stroke is a worldwide major cause of mortality and disability and has high costs in
terms of health-related quality of life and expectancy as well as of social healthcare …

Background Clinical and animal studies have shown that transcutaneous auricular vagus
nerve stimulation (ta-VNS) exerts neuroprotection following cerebral ischemia. Studies have …

Background Modulation of the locus coeruleus (LC)-noradrenergic system is a key
mechanism of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS). Activation of the LC produces pupil dilation …

Studies in rodents indicate that pairing vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) with extinction training
enhances fear extinction. However, the role of stimulation parameters on the effects of VNS …

Perseverative cognitions can provoke psychophysiological stress in the absence of an
actual stressor and are considered important transdiagnostic vulnerability factors for several …

Impairments in somatosensory function are a common and often debilitating consequence of
neurological injury, with few effective interventions. Building on success in rehabilitation for …

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) paired with motor rehabilitation enhances recovery of
function after neurological injury in rats and humans. This effect is ascribed to VNS …

Stroke often leaves lasting impairments affecting orofacial function. While speech therapy is
able to enhance function after stroke, many patients see only modest improvements after …
