Feinstein researchers develop method to activate specific fibers in vagus nerve

Oct. 2, 2020
By Annette Boyle
Researchers at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, the research arm of New York-based Northwell Health, have developed a noninvasive method for targeting stimulation of the vagus nerve.
