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

This study shows that sympathetic fibers are present in the rat cervical vagus nerve and that stimulating the vagus nerve can activate these fibers, leading to tachycardia rather than bradycardia.

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.
