1AbstractVagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is FDA approved for stroke rehabilitation, epilepsy, and depression; however, the vagus functional anatomy underlying the implant is poorly understood. We used microCT to quantify fascicular structure and neuroanatomy within human cervical vagus nerves. Fascicles split or merged every ~560 μm (17.8 ± 6.1 events/cm). The high degree of fascicular splitting and merging in humans may explain the clinical heterogeneity in patient responses. |
