Abstract
Low-level tragus stimulation (LL-TS) as a noninvasive technique of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) moves to the fore in the autonomic nervous system (ANS) studies as a nondrug based, easy applicable tool. LL-TS triggering a complex systemic response may offer a broader cardioprotective potential than expected as a recent investigation outlined blood pressure (BP) reduction by LL-TS in patients with hypertension, which is commonly related to imbalance of the ANS as several other cardiovascular diseases.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Neurophysiology publishes original articles on the function of the nervous system. All levels of function are included, from the membrane and cell to systems and behavior. Experimental approaches include molecular neurobiology, cell culture and slice preparations, membrane physiology, developmental neurobiology, functional neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, neuropharmacology, systems electrophysiology, imaging and mapping techniques, and behavioral analysis. Experimental preparations may be invertebrate or vertebrate species, including humans. Theoretical studies are acceptable if they are tied closely to the interpretation of experimental data and elucidate principles of broad interest.
