Spatially selective stimulation of the pig vagus nerve to modulate target effect versus side effect

Stephan L. Blanz et al.

Summary: Electrical stimulation of the cervical vagus nerve using implanted electrodes (VNS) has FDA approval for the treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy, treatment-resistant depression, and chronic ischemic stroke rehabilitation. The placement of small epineural electrodes may modify the therapeutic effects of VNS but it is unclear if it can alter the balance between intended effect and side effect. This study investigates the impact of epineural electrode location on VNS activation and discovers neuroanatomy-dependent differences in both therapeutic effects and side effects.

Organ- and function-specific anatomical organization of vagal fibers supports fascicular vagus nerve stimulation

Naveen Jayaprakash et al.

Summary: Through studying pigs, we found that the fibers inside the vagus nerve are anatomically organized according to their mediated functions and innervated organs, and can be selectively activated by cervical nerve stimulation. These results indicate that the fibers in the vagus nerve trunk are anatomically organized based on the functions they mediate and organs they innervate, and can be selectively activated by specific electrical stimulation.

Fibers in smaller fascicles have lower activation thresholds with cuff electrodes due to thinner perineurium and smaller cross-sectional area

Christopher J. Davis et al.

Summary: This study used computational models to uncover the mechanisms behind the higher activation thresholds in larger fascicles in nerve stimulation therapies. The results showed that the increase in perineurium thickness, fiber diameter, and endoneurial diameter contributed to higher activation thresholds. Additionally, the size of neighboring fascicles and the fiber diameter had the greatest impact on activation thresholds.

Laryngeal Muscle-Evoked Potential Recording as an Indicator of Vagal Nerve Fiber Activation

Charlotte Bouckaert et al.

Summary: This study investigated laryngeal muscle evoked potential (LMEP) responses induced by vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) in patients with epilepsy. The results showed that recording VNS-induced LMEPs was feasible both at the initiation of therapy and after one year. Low output currents may be sufficient to activate vagal A alpha-motor fibers. However, the maximal amplitude of LMEPs seemed to decrease after chronic VNS therapy.

Fascicles split or merge every ∼560 microns within the human cervical vagus nerve

Aniruddha R. Upadhye et al.

Summary: The study used microCT to quantify the fascicular structure and neuroanatomy of human cervical vagus nerves, finding a high degree of fascicular splitting and merging, as well as wide range in key fascicular morphological parameters across humans. These findings may help explain clinical heterogeneity in patient responses to VNS and could be useful for designing improved VNS electrodes.

Calvin D. Eiber et al.

Summary: Neuromodulation of visceral nerves is being studied for various conditions, and computational tool ViNERS was developed to predict the impact of neuroanatomical variation on stimulation and recording from visceral nerves. The study demonstrated the potential of ViNERS to simulate large-scale stimulation and recording, while indicating the need for further refinement to accurately model visceral nerve axons.
