Vagus nerve stimulation is like a pacemaker for your brain. Because he vagal nerve connects your brain stem to your upper body, it relays information to and from your central nervous system. Vagus nerve stimulation changes the norepinephrine and sertonin levels in the brain- both of which are neurotransmitters that are associated with a person’s mood. Vagus nerve stimulation has prove a successful treatment for many people in the studies, but not everyone is a good candidate for the treatment.
