This paper characterizes the anatomy of trigeminal nerve branches and uses computational models to show that superficial branches activate nociceptors more than nerve trunks, suggesting potential off-target effects.

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

This study uses pupil dilation as a biosensor to assess real-time effects of vagus nerve stimulation on brain state in mice.

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 paper demonstrates the acute and chronic performance of optically transparent μECoG grids on a thinned skull, showing stable impedances and reliable optogenetic activation and spatially distinct recordings.

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