The Vagus Nerve Somatosensory-evoked Potential in Neural Disorders: Systematic Review and Illustrative Vignettes

Abstract: Objective. To review the scientific publications reporting vagal nerve somatosensory-evoked potential (VSEP) findings from individuals with brain disorders, and present novel physiological explanations on the VSEP origin. Methods. We did a systematic review on the papers reporting VSEP findings from individuals with brain disorders and their controls. We evaluated papers published from 2003 to date indexed in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scielo databases. We extracted the following information: number of patien… Show more

“…Although the ECG features can be utilized to assess vagal tone activation and the EMG features may reflect motor function progress and the sympathetic tone to some extent, these results may not sufficiently unveil the neural mechanisms underlying the rehabilitative effects of EMG triggered closed-loop taVNS on motor deficits. Therefore, additional electrophysiological assessments such as sympathetic skin responses, motor evoked potentials via transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), vagus somatosensory evoked potentials (VSEP) using electroencephalography (EEG) recordings ( 36 , 37 ), or TMS-evoked potentials (TEP) should be considered. Designing studies to explore modifications in spinal ascending and descending tracts and circuits would provide valuable insights into the modulation of motor control and corticospinal motor networks following taVNS.…”
