Human Vagus Nerve Electrophysiology
Copyright policy )Human Vagus Nerve Electrophysiology
The authors studied human vagus nerve electrophysiology intraoperatively on 21 patients (age range: 4 to 31 years) during implantation of a vagus nerve stimulator for seizure control. The study was performed with direct electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve with various stimulation parameters resembling those employed by the Cyberonics NeuroCybernetic Prosthesis System (Houston, TX), which is used clinically for vagus nerve stimulation for treatment of seizures. Recordings were made directly from the rostral end of the vagus nerve. The response of the vagus nerve to various stimulus parameters in patients of different ages was studied. Based on the vagus nerve characteristics, age-related adjustments for stimulus parameters were recommended.
