“…Further evidence implicates the role of vagus nerve in sleep regulation. For example, chronic vagus nerve stimulation increases EEG delta and theta power in NREMS in human subjects [25] and increases ponto-geniculate-occipital (PGO) wave density and the number of stages and total amount of REMS in the cat [26]. The influence of diet on sleep regulation, mediated through the vagal activation, may associate with increased sleep-promoting cytokines, particularly tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin (IL))6.…”

“…VNS influences the interrelated network of respiration, epilepsy, and sleep. Sleep structure is modified by VNS (15,16) and by epilepsy (17,18). Modifications of sleep states are associated with changes in respiration (19), perhaps mediating some of the effects of VNS.…”

“…While several case reports of VNS-associated SDB have been described in the literature, there are currently no established criteria for its diagnosis. [1][2][3][4] In our case, the diagnosis of VNS-associated SDB was established by the onset of clinical symptoms following implantation, the use of surface electrodes with expanded filter settings to capture VNS activation artifact, time locking of apneic and hypopneic events with VNS ontime, and the resolution of symptoms when the VNS was turned off. VNS-associated SDB is a known, although poorly understood and often unrecognized, complication of VNS therapy.…”
