Abstract in brief

  • The text explores whether the vagus nerve acts as a primary neural connection, or "connectome," that links different parts of the nervous system.
  • It discusses the role of the vagus nerve in allowing sensorimotor networks—brain and body systems involved in sensing and movement—to change and adapt over time, a process known as timedependent plasticity.
  • The implications are significant, suggesting that the vagus nerve could be central in understanding how our nervous system learns, adapts, and potentially how to treat related disorders.]
