From: Selective stimulation of the ferret abdominal vagus nerve with multi-contact nerve cuff electrodes

Figure 4

Selectivity of abdominal VNS. Number of responding MEA channels for each animal at (left) the stimulation amplitude that maximized SI and (right) the maximum tested stimulation amplitude (i.e. 3 mA). Pairs of bars represent the two bipolar pairs of cuff contacts in each animal (left is cuff pair 1–2, right is cuff pair 3–4). Blue bars represent MEA channels responding to only one of the two bipolar pairs, orange bars allow for up to 3 overlapping channels (i.e. 10% overlap) responding to stimulation from both cuff pairs, and gray bars include all non-selectively stimulated channels. Stimulation pulse widths include (a) 0.1 ms, (b) 0.5 ms, and (c) 1 ms.
