Kevin Tracey is a pioneer of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) research. Since the early 2000s, his team at The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research has been rigorously investigating VNS bioelectronic therapies.
In 2014, The New York Times did a feature story, "Can the Nervous System Be Hacked?" about Tracey and his decades-long history of potentially game-changing vagus nerve discoveries.Over the years, I've reported on various findings from the Feinstein Institutes.
For example, a few years ago, I wrote a post, "Vagus Nerve Stimulation Dramatically Reduces Inflammation," about a study (Koopman et al., 2016) which found that VNS inhibits cytokine production and reduces the severity of rheumatoid arthritis.
