“…Vagus nerve stimulation paired with rehabilitation enhances recovery from a wide array of neurological disorders ( Khodaparast et al, 2013 , 2014 ; Hays et al, 2014b , 2016 ; Dawson et al, 2016 , 2021 ; Pruitt et al, 2016b , 2021 ; Ganzer et al, 2018 ; Kilgard et al, 2018 , 2021 ; Kimberley et al, 2018 ; Meyers et al, 2018 , 2019 ; Darrow et al, 2020a , b , 2021 ) by increasing synaptic plasticity in central networks activated by rehabilitation ( Porter et al, 2012 ; Hulsey et al, 2016 , 2019 ; Meyers et al, 2018 ; Morrison et al, 2019 , 2021 ; Tseng et al, 2020 ). This enhancement of synaptic plasticity is mediated by coordinated action of cholinergic, noradrenergic, and serotonergic systems ( Dorr, 2006 ; Roosevelt et al, 2006 ; Nichols et al, 2011 ; Hulsey et al, 2017 ).…”
