Brain plasticity and vagus nerve stimulation
Auton Neurosci. 2021 Sep 7;236:102876. doi: 10.1016/j.autneu.2021.102876. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAfter damage to the central nervous system, caused by traumatic injury or ischemia, plasticity becomes critically important for functional recovery. When this inherent capacity to adapt is limited despite training, external stimulation may support this process. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an effective method to enhance the effect of motor rehabilitation training on functional recovery. However, the mechanisms by which VNS exerts beneficial effects on cortical plasticity are not completely understood. Experimental wo...

Vagus nerve stimulation mediates microglia M1/2 polarization via inhibition of TLR4 pathway after ischemic stroke
In this study, we aimed to investigate the underlying mechanism. Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the sham, ischemic stroke, ischemic stroke + VNS, ischemic stroke + VNS + lentivirus (LV)-TLR4 and ischemic stroke + VNS + LV-CON groups. LV was injected into the lateral ventricles of the rats 14 days before ischemic stroke surgery, and VNS was administered after 30 min of occlusion. We assessed the infarct volume, neurological scores, the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB protein level and microglia polarization after 3 days of reperfusion. Our results revealed that VNS can promote M2 microglia polarization and inhibit M1 micr...

From adults to pediatrics: A review noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) to facilitate recovery from brain injury
Prog Brain Res. 2021;264:287-322. doi: 10.1016/bs.pbr.2021.01.019. Epub 2021 Feb 23.ABSTRACTStroke is a major problem worldwide that impacts over 100 million adults and children annually. Rehabilitation therapy is the current standard of care to restore functional impairments post-stroke, however its effects are limited and many patients suffer persisting functional impairments and life-long disability. Noninvasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS) has emerged as a potential rehabilitation treatment option in both adults and children with brain injury. In the last decade, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), Transcranial Direct...
