According to Dr. Navaz Habib, author ofUpgrade Your Vagus Nerve,the vagus nerve is a crucial component of both the parasympathetic nervous system and the microbiome-gut-brain axis. Because of its far-reaching roles, Dr. Habib considers vagus nerve dysfunction to be “a major missing piece in ...
Lesions capable of injuring, inflaming, or destroying the vagus nerve and its branches are discussed by anatomic sequence starting with the brainstem and progressing distally along the course of the nerve. All of these diseases lead to forestomach or abomasal dysfunction to some degree and have ...
The vagus nerve plays a role in the cross talk between the brain and gut microbiota, which could be involved in depression. The subdiaphragmatic vagus nerve serves as a major modulatory pathway between the brain and gut microbiota. Here, we investigated the effects of subdiaphragmatic vagotomy (...
Luckily, you can stimulate your vagus nerve, essentially training it to handle stressors better. Some ways to stimulate the vagus nerve include cold exposure therapy, light exercise, singing or humming, and maintaining a healthy gut microbiome. ...
The vagus nerve can transmit signals to the brain resulting in a reduction in depressive behavior as evidenced by the long-term beneficial effects of electrical stimulation of the vagus in patients with intractable depression. The vagus is the major neural connection between gut and brain, and we...
Here we hypothesized that the vagus nerve (VN), a key bidirectional route of communication between the gut and the brain, could relay the effects of stress-induced GM changes on HPC plasticity and behavior. We used fecal samples derived from mice that sustained unpredictable chronic mild stress ...
Conclusions: Paenalcaligenes hominis, particularly its EVs, can cause cognitive function-impaired disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, and its EVs may penetrate the brain through the blood as well as the vagus nerve. Video Abstract.doi:10.1186/s40168-020-00881-2Kyung-Eon Lee...
Vagus nerveVagus nerve stimulationBrainInflammationDepression is a highly prevalent disorder with unsatisfactory treatment options. Recently, transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) has demonstrated great potential in the treatment of depression. In this chapter, we first summarize the ...
Recently, an imbalanced autonomic nervous system (ANS) with sympathetic hyperactivity and reduced parasympathetic nerve activity (vagal tone) has aroused increasing attention in the pathogenesis of PCOS. In this paper, we review an innovative therapy for the treatment of PCOS and related co-morbidities...
GUT microbiomeVAGUS nerveCEREBRAL arteriesThe vagus nerve regulates metabolic homeostasis and mediates gut–brain communication. We hypothesized that vagus nerve dysfunction, induced by truncated vagotomy (VGX) or carotid artery occlusion (AO), would disrupt gut–brain communication and exacerbate metabolic ...
