Novel attempts to optimize vagus nerve stimulation parameters on serotonin neuronal firing activity in the rat brain
Background: Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is indicated for treatment-resistant epilepsy and depression. Electrophysiologic recordings in the rat brain have shown that VNS promptly increases the firing rate of NE neurons and subsequently that of 5-HT neurons. Thus far, it appears that the standard st...
