DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202202619
Abstract: Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has the potential to treat various peripheral dysfunctions, but the traditional cuff electrodes for VNS are susceptible to off-target effects. Microelectrodes may enable highly selective VNS that can mitigate off-target effects,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ana.25451
Abstract: Disease‐associated proteins are thought to propagate along neuronal processes in neurodegenerative diseases. To detect disease‐associated prion protein (PrPSc) in the vagus nerve in different forms and molecular subtypes of Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD), we applied 3… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/brb3.2343
Abstract: BACKGROUND Electrical auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is an emerging therapy. Stimuli are transported to brainstem nuclei, whereby its multiple projections reach to many subcortical and cortical areas, thus allowing the neuromodulation of several systemic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/epi4.12453
Abstract: Patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) pose considerable management challenges for patients, their families, and providers. Both the vagus nerve stimulator (VNS) and the ketogenic diet (KD) have been shown to be safe and effective in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/epi4.12570
Abstract: Palliative epilepsy surgery via corpus callosotomy (CC) or vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is commonly employed for drug‐resistant seizures in Lennox‐Gastaut Syndrome (LGS). VNS is less effective at reducing seizures but has fewer adverse events, CC… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/epi4.12654
Abstract: New‐onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) is associated with high mortality, therapy‐resistant epilepsy (TRE), and poor cognitive and functional outcomes. Some patients develop multifocal TRE, for whom surgery with a curative intention, is not an option.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00213-018-4994-5
Abstract: RationaleEmotionally traumatic experiences can lead to maladaptive memories that are enduring and intrusive. The goal of exposure-based therapies is to extinguish conditioned fears through repeated, unreinforced exposures to reminders of traumatic events. The extinction of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00415-018-8894-8
Abstract: Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) is one of the most common causes of chronic vestibular disorders, with a substantial portion of the affected patients showing no significant improvement to standard therapies (i.e., pharmacotherapy, behavioral psychotherapy). Patients… read more here.
