Characterization, number, and spatial organization of nerve fibers in the human cervical vagus nerve and its superior cardiac branch

Background: Electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve (VN) is a therapy for epilepsy, obesity, depression, and heart diseases. However, whole nerve stimulation leads to side effects. We examined the neuroanatomy of the mid-cervical segment of the human VN and its superior cardiac branch to gain insi...
