kHz-frequency electrical stimulation selectively activates small, unmyelinated vagus afferents

kHz-frequency electrical stimulation selectively activates small, unmyelinated vagus afferents

Background: Vagal reflexes regulate homeostasis in visceral organs and systems through afferent and efferent neurons and nerve fibers. Small, unmyelinated, C-type afferents comprise over 80% of fibers in the vagus and form the sensory arc of autonomic reflexes of the gut, lungs, heart and vessels an...
