In a world where stress has become a near-constant companion for many, scientists and medical professionals have turned their attention to an unassuming hero within our bodies, the vagus nerve.

The vagus nerve not only divides and branches out (its name derives from the Latin word for “wandering”), but it also connects to and interacts with other nerves in the body.

There were distinctions between the left and right stimulation with the left involving changes in the visual cortex, cerebellum, basal ganglia, cingulate gyrus, frontal regions, and parahippocampus.

The basal ganglia are a set of subcortical structures that interact with the cerebral cortex to regulate motor, cognitive and affective function through reinforcement learning and action selection.

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are the bridging neurons that connect the retinal input to the visual processing centres within the central nervous system. There is a remarkable diversity of RGCs and ...

The center–surround receptive-field organization in retinal ganglion cells is widely believed to result mainly from lateral inhibition at the first synaptic level (in the outer retina).

OBJECTIVES AND METHODS Transcranial real time sonography (TCS) was applied to 49 patients with Huntington’s disease and 39 control subjects to visualise alterations in the echotexture of the basal ...
