DARPA Wants to Jolt the Nervous System with Electricity, Lasers, Sound Waves, and Magnets
Three research teams using electrical stimulation will target the vagus nerve, which affects many different parts of the body. IEEE Spectrum explored the medical potential of vagus nerve hacking in a recent feature article, writing:
Look at an anatomy chart and the importance of the vagus nerve jumps out at you. Vagus means âwanderingâ in Latin, and true to its name, the nerve meanders around the chest and abdomen, connecting most of the key organsâheart and lungs includedâto the brain stem. Itâs like a back door built into the human physiology, allowing you to hack the bodyâs systems.
Researchers will not only stimulate nerves with jolts of electricity, theyâll also use pulses of light, sound waves, and magnetic fields.
Researchers in the United States have developed a new method for controlling the brain circuits associated with complex animal behaviours, using genetic engineering to create a magnetised protein that activates specific groups of nerve cells from a distance.
Thank you for bringing attention to the importance of the vagus nerve.
"We have two vagus nerves, one to the right and one to the left of the human body."
"It supplies nerve fibers to the throat area, the lungs, the heart and the digestive organs. It is the nerve that confers sensitivity to the respiratory mucous membranes (pharynx, larynx, esophagus, trachea, lungs and bronchi) and transmits rhythm, strength and frequency in breathing. It also receives signals from internal organs and sends them back to the brain.
It is not only related to the muscles, but from the skull and into the abdomen, even through the heart and stomach, vagus nerve plays a very important role in the functioning of our body." Inflamed vagus nerve: Symptoms and remedies â From Doctor
