This study identifies off-target neural pathways activated during carotid baroreceptor stimulation in swine, contributing to side-effects of baroreflex activation therapy.

This study identifies and characterizes sources of artifact contaminating evoked compound action potentials (ECAPs) in epidural spinal cord recordings, highlighting challenges in distinguishing neural signals from artifacts in a swine model.

The paper quantifies fascicular splitting and merging in human cervical vagus nerves, finding events occur every ~560 microns and may explain clinical response variability.

This paper demonstrates the use of intraoperative ultrasound to visualize pig vagus nerve fascicular organization (vagotopy) and improve cuff placement for vagus nerve stimulation.

The paper identifies specific neuroanatomical pathways causing off-target effects of vagus nerve stimulation in pigs and characterizes dose-response curves for on- and off-target effects.

The paper characterizes the anatomy of the cervical vagus nerve in domestic pigs, identifying structural features relevant to vagus nerve stimulation and comparing them across species.

This study shows that cervical vagus nerve stimulation increases cerebrospinal fluid penetration into the brain, suggesting potential clinical implications for CNS disorders.
