We are excited to announce the publication of our paper describing our fully implantable bidirectional neuromodulation system that can be used in mice. Our device is the first-of-it-kind since it is built using only off-the-shelf components and 3D printing. It allows neurostimulation and biopotential recording in freely moving mice, and it can also be recharged wirelessly.

We are excited to announce the publication of a manuscript examining the effects of Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Lupus. This work was a collaborative effort led by our colleague Cindy Aranow at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research.

Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation reduces pain and fatigue in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: a randomised, double-blind, sham-controlled pilot trial

Take a look at our recently published commentary on the use of piezoelectric powered stimulation devices. In this article we discuss some recent contributions to the field for this exciting method of powering implantable devices, and examine the technical challenges and future directions for such devices.

Ultrasound powered piezoelectric neurostimulation devices: a commentary

Our mini review was just published in the journal Bioelectronic Medicine. In it we discuss some of the exciting new ways that non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation can be used to treat opioid withdrawal. We find that auricular VNS using two new FDA cleared medical devices shows clinical efficacy with lower side effects than pharmacological approaches.
