Functional Vagotopy in the Cervical Vagus Nerve of the Domestic Pig: Implications for the Study of Vagus Nerve Stimulation
2019-11-27
Abstract excerpt
Given current clinical interest in vagus nerve stimulation, there are surprisingly few studies characterizing the anatomy of the vagus nerve in large animal models as it pertains to on-and off-target engagement of local fibers. We sought to address this gap by evaluating vagal anatomy in the domestic pig, whose vagus nerve organization and size approximates the human cervical vagus nerve. We provide data on key fe...
