Altered amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations and regional homogeneity in drug-resistant epilepsy patients with vagal nerve stimulators under different current intensity.

CONCLUSIONS: The spontaneous neural activity changes in DRE patients caused by VNS were in an ongoing process. Increased ALFF/ReHo in frontal cortex, cingulate gyri, precentral/postcentral gyri, parahippocampal gyri, precuneus, parietal cortex, and cerebellum may implicate in VNS-induced improvement in seizure frequency.
