Use of a physiological reflex to standardize vagal nerve stimulation intensity improves data reproducibility in a memory extinction assay

Background: Modulating brainstem activity, via electrical vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), influences cognitive functions, including memory. However, controlling for changes in stimulus efficacy during chronic studies, and response variability between subjects, is problematic.Objective/Hypothesis: We...
