There ’ s a Reason They ’ re Called ‘ Gut ’ Feelings
In the 1800s, a French Canadian named Alexis St. Martin was shot in the stomach while at a fur trading post, when someone’s musket accidentally fired at close range.

Through careful experiments, the surgeon William Beaumont discovered that St. Martin’s mental state had direct physiological consequences on his stomach’s activity: when he felt irritable, for example, his digestion slowed. Somehow, his emotional states were manifest ...

Mayo Clinic Minute: How vagus nerve stimulation can help some patients improve their recovery after stroke
A vagus nerve stimulation device, approved by the Food and Drug Administration, is being used in rehabilitation to help patients recovering from an ischemic stroke. If a patient is having trouble using their hand or arm after a stroke, this stimulation device helps create new pathways in the brain as the person performs exercises. This can help the person regain function faster than rehabilitation alone. Dr. Jonathon Parker, a Mayo Clinic neurosurgeon, discusses how the… (Source: News from Mayo Clinic)
