Journal Article
Almuhanna, A., Cahalan, S., Lane, A., Goodwin, D., Perkins, J., & Piercy, R. (2021). Optimisation and validation of immunohistochemical axonal markers for morphological and functional characterisation of equine peripheral nerves. Equine Veterinary Journal, 53(6), 1188-1198. https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.13403

Background: Horses are affected by various peripheral nerve disorders but defining their aetiology and pathophysiology is hampered by limited understanding of associated morphological and pathological changes and involvement of specific axonal types....

Imaging of focal seizures with Electrical Impedance Tomography and depth electrodes in real time (2021)
Journal Article
Witkowska-Wrobel, A., Aristovich, K., Crawford, A., Perkins, J., & Holder, D. (2021). Imaging of focal seizures with Electrical Impedance Tomography and depth electrodes in real time. NeuroImage, 234, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2021.117972

A B S T R A C T Intracranial EEG is the current gold standard technique for localizing seizures for surgery, but it can be insen-sitive to tangential dipole or distant sources. Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) offers a novel method to improve co... Read More about Imaging of focal seizures with Electrical Impedance Tomography and depth electrodes in real time.

Human-relevant near-organ neuromodulation of the immune via the nerve (2021)
Journal Article
Donega, M., Fjordbakk, C., Kirk, J., Sokal, D., Gupta, I., Hunsberger, G., Crawford, A., Cook, S., Viscasillas, J., Stathopoulou, T., Miranda, J., Dopson, W., Goodwin, D., Rowles, A., McGill, P., McSloy, A., Werling, D., Witherington, J., Chew, D., & Perkins, J. (2021). Human-relevant near-organ neuromodulation of the immune via the nerve. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 118(20), https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2025428118

Neuromodulation of immune function by stimulating the autonomic connections to the spleen has been demonstrated in rodent models. Consequently, neuroimmune modulation has been proposed as a new therapeutic strategy for the treatment of inflammatory c...

Model-based geometrical optimisation and in vivo validation of a spatially selective multielectrode cuff array for vagus nerve neuromodulation (2021)
Journal Article
Aristovich, K., Donega, M., Fjordbakk, C., Tarotin, I., Chapman, C., Viscasillas, J., Stathopoulou, T., Crawford, A., Chew, D., Perkins, J., & Holder, D. (2021). Model-based geometrical optimisation and in vivo validation of a spatially selective multielectrode cuff array for vagus nerve neuromodulation. Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 352, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jneumeth.2021.109079

Background: Neuromodulation by electrical stimulation of the human cervical vagus nerve may be limited by adverse side effects due to stimulation of off-target organs. It may be possible to overcome this by spatially selective stimulation of peripher...

Splenic Nerve Neuromodulation Reduces Inflammation and Promotes Resolution in Chronically Implanted Pigs (2021)
Journal Article
Sokal, D., McSloy, A., Donega, M., Kirk, J., Colas, R., Dolezalova, N., Gomez, E., Gupta, I., Fjordbakk, C., Ouchouche, S., Matteucci, P., Schlegel, K., Bashirullah, R., Werling, D., Harman, K., Rowles, A., Yazicioglu, R., Dalli, J., Chew, D., & Perkins, J. (2021). Splenic Nerve Neuromodulation Reduces Inflammation and Promotes Resolution in Chronically Implanted Pigs. Frontiers in Immunology, 12, https://doi.org/10.3389/fimmu.2021.649786

Neuromodulation of the immune system has been proposed as a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of inflammatory conditions. We recently demonstrated that stimulation of near-organ autonomic nerves to the spleen can be harnessed to modulate t...
