Our VNS Therapy System consists of an implanted pacemaker-like device that delivers mild, intermittently pulsed electrical signals to the left Vagus nerve, which then activates various areas of the brain. Stimulation of the left Vagus nerve has been shown to induce widespread bilateral effects in areas of the brain implicated in seizures.
