Vagus Nerve Stimulation Paired With Tones Alters the Auditory Cortex Proteome in a Rat Model of Rett Syndrome
rats by changing the expression of proteins involved in regulating synaptic vesicles and synaptic transmission. This work provides evidence of key mechanisms that may drive auditory processing dysfunction in Rett syndrome and demonstrates that VNS-tone pairing is sufficient to alter protein expression in the auditory cortex.
