Vagus nerve manipulation and microglial plasticity in the prenatal brain
Marc Courchesne, Colin Wakefield, Karen Nygard +5
The efferent and afferent effects of the vagus nerve on the developing brain have remained enigmatic. Here we review the evidence of such effects on microglial plasticity in the sh…
The vagus nerve regulates immunometabolic homeostasis in the ovine fetus near term: impact on terminal ileum
Mingju Cao, Shikha Kuthiala, Keven Jason Jean +8
The contribution of the vagus nerve to inflammation and glucosensing in the fetus is not understood. We hypothesized that vagotomy (Vx) will trigger a rise in systemic glucose leve…
The neonatal sepsis is diminished by cervical vagus nerve stimulation and tracked non-invasively by ECG: a preliminary report in the piglet model
Aude Castel, Patrick Burns, Colin Wakefield +8
An electrocardiogram (ECG)-derived heart rate variability (HRV) index reliably tracks the inflammatory response induced by low-dose lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in near-term sheep fetu…
