Grant Activity:
Microelectrode recordings from the vagus nerve in awake humans
Purpose:
The vagus nerve is an important nerve that controls the heart, lungs and gut. It exits the brain and travels with the carotid arteries and jugular veins in the neck. As such it has defied direct investigation in humans, but here we have developed a means of inserting metal microelectrodes into this nerve and recording signals going to and from the brain. This approach promises to provide much needed information on how the organ control provided by the vagus nerve is affected in disease states.
