Neonatal Sepsis Is Diminished by Cervical Vagus Nerve Stimulation and Tracked Noninvasively by ECG: A Pilot Report and Dataset in the Piglet Model
Background: Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) reduced inflammation induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in an adult rat sepsis model. A multi-dimensional heart rate variability (HRV) index reliably tracked the inflamm...

Dissociable Control of Impulsivity in Rats by Dopamine D2/3 Receptors in the Core and Shell Subregions of the Nucleus Accumbens
Previous research has identified the nucleus accumbens (NAcb) as an important brain region underlying inter-individual variation in impulsive behavior. Such variation has been linked to decreased dopamine (DA)...
