Control of spatiotemporal activation of organ-specific fibers in the vagus nerve by intermittent interferential current stimulation

This paper introduces a new VNS method, i2CS, that selectively activates organ-specific fibers in the vagus nerve, improving selectivity over side effects in swine.

Ultrasound neuromodulation of an anti-inflammatory pathway at the spleen produces sustained improvement of experimental pulmonary hypertension

The paper shows that ultrasound neuromodulation of the spleen reduces experimental pulmonary hypertension by improving hemodynamics and reducing inflammation.

Voltammetry in the spleen assesses real-time anti-inflammatory norepinephrine release elicited by autonomic neurostimulation

This study uses voltammetry in the spleen to measure real-time norepinephrine release during autonomic nerve stimulation and links it to anti-inflammatory effects.

Organ- and function-specific anatomical organization of the vagus nerve supports fascicular vagus nerve stimulation

This study shows that vagus nerve fascicles are organized by function and organ innervation, enabling targeted stimulation with reduced side effects.

Single-axon level automatic segmentation and feature extraction from immuhistochemical images of peripheral nerves

The paper develops an algorithm for single-axon segmentation and feature extraction from IHC images of peripheral nerves, achieving 82% detection accuracy and 89% myelination classification accuracy.

Restoration of Direct Corticospinal Communication Across Sites of Spinal Injury

This paper demonstrates that combining KLF6 gene therapy with neural progenitor cell grafts can restore corticospinal tract function after spinal injury in mice.
