- Title
Vagus nerve stimulation for epilepsy: A review of central mechanisms.
- Authors
Krahl, Scott E.; Clark, Kevin B.
- Abstract
In a previous paper, the anatomy and physiology of the vagus nerve was discussed in an attempt to explain which vagus nerve fibers and branches are affected by clinically relevant electrical stimulation. This companion paper presents some of vagus nerve stimulation's putative central nervous system mechanisms of action by summarizing known anatomical projections of vagal afferents and their effects on brain biogenic amine pathways and seizure expression.
