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.

The paper shows that simultaneous thermal and tactile stimuli enhance perception in mouse forepaw primary somatosensory cortex through changes in neuronal response dynamics and recruitment of silent neurons.

The paper tests the hypothesis that autism mouse models have increased excitation-inhibition ratio in cerebral cortex, finding it reflects homeostatic stabilization rather than hyperexcitability.
