The three-year research project will map the vagus nerve, which controls major organ functions, in order to speed development of therapeutic devices that improve chronic medical conditions, CWRU said.
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Case Western Reserve and Duke universities have received a $15.75 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to seek new treatment options for conditions such as hypertension, heart failure and gastrointestinal disorders, CWRU announced Monday.
The images will be taken of vagus nerves procured from cadavers donated to the CWRU Anatomical Gift Program. Mapping the roughly 100,000 fibers of the vagus nerve to their target organs will help scientists develop treatments that are more effective and have fewer side effects, CWRU said.
