Electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve protects against cerebral ischemic injury through an anti-infammatory mechanism

Vagus nerve stimulation exerts protective effects against ischemic brain injury; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, a rat model of focal cerebral ischemia was established using the occlusion method, and the right vagus nerve was given electrical stimulation (constant c...
