The internet of the body: the vagus nerve explained - Online interview

Descripción:

"The vagus nerve is a very important part of our sense of well-being. It's not really part of the medical world in which we clinicians live nor you as a patient perhaps live in, because so much of our work is focused around hardware. However, the vagus nerve is becoming a very important part of understanding those individuals who don't necessarily have hardware problems but feel unwell." In this fascinating online interview, the renowned professor of gastroenterology and minimally invasive gastroenterologist, Professor Owen Epstein, brilliantly explains the role of the vagus nerve in the human body. In a comprehensive way, the London-based professor details the significance of the vagus nerve, how it can impact the "hardware" or organs of the body, and how issues with the vagus nerve are investigated and treated. 0:00 Introduction 0:17 What exactly is the vagus nerve?
