<h4>Background</h4>Pairing sensory or motor events with vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) can reorganize sensory or motor cortex. Repeatedly pairing a tone with a brief period of VNS increases the proportion of primary auditory cortex (A1) responding to the frequency of the paired tone. However, the relationship between VNS intensity and cortical map plasticity is not known.<h4>Objective/hypothesis</h4>The primary goal of this study was to determine the range of VNS intensities that can be used to d ...[more]
