Default Fascinating article on the vagus nerve

A friend of mine posted a link to this article on Facebook, and I found it fascinating. There's no mention of neuoropathy in it, but it discuss how vagal nerve stimulation has been used to successfully treat rheumatoid arthritis by turning off production of an inflammatory protein.

If nothing else, it gives me hope with regard to progress in understanding the nervous system.

"There's a single nerve that connects all of your vital organs — and it might just be the future of medicine"
