Laryngeal Motor Evoked Potentials

Laryngeal Motor Evoked Potentials

Laryngeal responses can indicate VNS-induced A-fiber activation by recording surface laryngeal motor evoked potentials (LMEPs). These LMEPs act as markers of efferent A-fiber activation, particularly from the recurrent laryngeal nerve, a branch of the vagus nerve, and...
Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

MRI is a non-invasive and non-radiating imaging technique, allowing to obtain high-resolution images ranging from array of soft tissues to different anatomical region of the body such as the brain. Different types of MRI sequences exist and can be used depending on...
Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation

Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation

An emerging approach to stimulate the vagus nerve non-invasively consists of the so-called transcutaneous auricular VNS (tVNS). It is typically administered to the cymba conchae of the left ear. In healthy participants, tVNS has been shown to modulate autonomic and...
