Avoiding off-target effects in electrical stimulation of the cervical vagus nerve: Neuroanatomical tracing techniques to study fascicular anatomy of the vagus nerve

Abstract

Title: Highlights 1. • The vagus nerve provides innervation to the majority of the visceral organs. 2. • There is a need to delineate fascicular anatomy to avoid off-target effects of VNS. 3. • Neuronal tracing is a powerful tool to study fascicular organization.
