These devices are implanted by multiple surgical subspecialties and managed by practitioners with varying levels of epilepsy-specific expertise.

The subcommittee used a consensus approach, evidence-based development strategy; once completed, the VNS curriculum was approved by the NANS board.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>The subcommittee developed a VNS curriculum as a standard to be used for implanting surgeons, managing physicians, and advanced practice providers. The vertical orientation of the curriculum uses the ACGME educational core competencies framework; within this paradigm is a horizontal progression of skills with distinct competency groups for implanting surgeons and/or managing physicians. The horizontal progression defines the expected competence for early learner, advanced learner, and independent practitioner.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>A NANS education subcommittee iteratively developed a VNS curriculum for defining progressive competence of myriad care providers, including clinicians and advanced practice providers, within the ACGME six core competencies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19152,"journal":{"name":"Neuromodulation","volume":"28 4","pages":"Pages 551-557"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143449684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 4 protocols were: 24 Hz cymba concha, 1 Hz cymba concha, PFM cymba concha, and 24 Hz ear lobe. A driven autoregressive method was used to estimate the coupling among brain areas in different physiological frequency bands in response to these protocols.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Different tVNS stimulation protocols led to alterations in phase-amplitude coupling among multiple brain regions linked to mood and memory, notably the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and temporal pole. Stimulation delivered at 24 Hz was observed to decrease delta-gamma coupling within the temporal pole and cingulate cortex when contrasted with 24-Hz sham stimulation.</div><div>Increased alpha-gamma coupling was observed between the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex when contrasting 24 Hz with pulse-frequency–modulated stimulation. Finally, a comparison of 24-Hz with low-frequency 1-Hz stimulation showed an increase in theta-gamma coupling within the prefrontal cortex.</div></div><div><h3>Significance</h3><div>To our knowledge, this study represents the first attempt to quantify phase-amplitude coupling in response to tVNS and suggests that different stimulation frequencies can modulate coupling between different areas of the brain. Abnormal phase-amplitude coupling has been linked to multiple mood and memory disorders. Further investigations using different stimulation frequencies of tVNS to alter phase-amplitude coupling may lead to the development of tVNS as a therapeutic option for different medical conditions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19152,"journal":{"name":"Neuromodulation","volume":"28 4","pages":"Pages 663-671"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143493059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
