Non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation reduces blood-brain barrier disruption in a rat model of ischemic stroke

Background: Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) significantly reduces infarct volume in rat models of cerebral ischemia, but the mechanism of this protective effect remains open. Hypothesis: This study tested the hypothesis that non-invasive VNS (nVNS), during transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (M...
