We become forgetful as we age. This is often seen as a universal truth, but in fact it is far from universal: some people ...

Vagus nerve stimulation may treat many diseases by changing brain signals, inflammation, and organ communication.

New clinical focus explores the connection between vagus nerve dysfunction, toxic burden, hidden pathogens, and early ...

New research from the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and the National Institutes of Health hypothesizes nerve damage as the cause of long COVID symptoms in some people. The small study found ...

A team of researchers has shown that noninvasive electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve through the ear can reverse memory deficits caused by acute stress in mice, pinpointing a specific protein ...

High-fat diets allow gut bacteria to travel to the brain via the vagus nerve, potentially triggering neurological disorders.

“Trans auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is one of the less invasive approaches to modulate brain function in neuropsychiatric and degenerative disorder.” Daniel Dautan posted on Bluesky, ...

The vagus nerve, also known as the “wanderer,” is an amazing structure. It is the 10th cranial nerve emerging from the brainstem at the base of the skull, coursing down the neck, to connect with ...
