Vagus nerve stimulation drives selective circuit modulation through cholinergic reinforcement

Spencer Bowles et al.

Summary: Vagus nerve stimulation is a neuromodulation therapy that influences specific neural circuits through widespread brain activation, enhancing behavioral learning. By investigating neuronal activity in mice during a reach task, researchers found that VNS modulates neurons in the motor cortex through cholinergic signaling, accelerating motor refinement.

Rapid Effects of Vagus Nerve Stimulation on Sensory Processing Through Activation of Neuromodulatory Systems

Charles Rodenkirch et al.

Summary: This article discusses the immediate effects of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) on sensory processing, distinguishing them from the long-term neuroplastic changes induced by pairing VNS with a sensory stimulus. It explores the underlying neuromodulatory systems involved and briefly explores the potential translational applications of using VNS to rapidly regulate sensory processing.

Learning enhances encoding of time and temporal surprise in mouse primary sensory cortex

Rebecca J. Rabinovich et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that learning significantly alters the representation of neurons in the superficial layers of the mouse cortex, expanding the population of neurons sensitive to touch and behavioral choice. Training also improves encoding of the passage of time.
