Vagus nerve stimulation ameliorates learning-memory deficits and suppresses neuronal apoptosis via the ERK/CREB/BDNF signaling pathway in epileptic rats
VNS enhances cognitive function in epileptic rats, potentially through activation of the ERK/CREB/BDNF pathway in the cerebral cortex, thereby attenuating oxidative stress and neuroinflammation.
