Vagus Nerve Stimulation Research
Vagus Nerve Stimulation Research is a research topic within Neurology. Science Explorer counts 11k research works in it since 1950. 20.7% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the neuro-immune modulation achieved through vagus nerve stimulation, particularly its role in regulating inflammation, cholinergic antiinflammatory pathway, neural reflexes, and immunomodulation. The research covers the anti-inflammatory effects of vagus nerve stimulation, its application in epilepsy treatment, and its potential as a therapy for heart failure.

How concentrated that is
The same countries as shares of everything the list above accounts for. A node where two countries do two thirds of the work and one spread evenly across twelve read alike as a ranking and not at all alike here.
