I know I’ve bumped into a number of members who’ve expressed interest in the vagus nerve and how it functions in communicating with the brain (@ljimbo423, @godlovesatrier, @Howard, for a start), but this is a bad day for me in terms of remembering things, so I’m hoping this catches the eye of the rest of y’all, ad apologies for whibbley brain function right now …
Study Provides Better Insight Into the Vagus Nerve’s Link to the Brain ... 07-28

"Summary: Using stimulation, researchers found a direct connection between the vagus nerve and learning centers of the brain. Vagus nerve stimulation, they discovered, increases learning in a healthy nervous system."
“The vagus nerve is critical because it regulates internal organ functions like digestion, heart rate and respiration. It also helps control reflex actions like coughing, swallowing and sneezing.
The study also revealed a direct connection between the vagus nerve and the cholinergic system that’s essential for learning and attention. Each time the vagus nerve was stimulated, researchers could observe the neurons that control learning activated within the cholinergic system.”
