Vagus Nerve Stimulation Hints at a Vascular Pathway to Support Long-Term Learning

Vagus nerve stimulation hints at a vascular pathway to support long-term learning

Do you ever feel like sometimes you can master a new dance step almost immediately, while other times you struggle to nail it despite repeated practice? This might be due to skill or effort, but also to something less obvious: whether the brain is in a state that allows learning to take hold.

Vagus nerve stimulation may enhance long-term motor learning

Vagal nerve stimulation induces vascular oscillations and enhances long-term learning

Brain Stimulation May Help Restore Speech

A serious brain injury can change much more than a person’s ability to move. It can also damage the brain pathways needed to speak clearly and swallow safely, making conversation, eating and everyday independence much harder. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine have now found early evidence that carefully tuned electrical stimulation […] The post Brain Stimulation May Help Restore Speech appeared first on Knowridge Sci…
