Vagus Nerve Stimulation Induced Motor Map Plasticity Does Not Require Cortical Dopamine

Vagus Nerve Stimulation Induced Motor Map Plasticity Does Not Require Cortical Dopamine

Background: Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) paired with motor rehabilitation is an emerging therapeutic strategy to enhance functional recovery after neural injuries such as stroke. Training-paired VNS drives significant neuroplasticity within the motor cortex (M1), which is thought to underlie the th...
