Abstract in brief

  • Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) can enhance rehabilitative therapies by promoting neural plasticity, helping to repair damaged circuits and improve recovery after neurological injuries.
  • VNS activates key brain regions involved in plasticity, and when paired with rehabilitation exercises, it can produce targeted, event-specific changes in neural circuits, showing promise in animal models and early clinical trials.
  • Despite encouraging results, there are challenges to implementing VNS-based therapies widely in clinical settings, but ongoing research suggests it could significantly improve treatment outcomes for various neurological disorders.

Interestingly too, acetylcholine (along with noradrenaline) is released in the brain when undergoing vagus nerve stimulation. This increases neural plasticity. https://t.co/5oBmoVDCj4
