We hypothesized that low-intensity FUS of the vagus nerve would regulate autonomic function and thus BP.\n                    <jats:italic>Approach.<\/jats:italic>\n                    17 anesthetized spontaneously hypertensive rats were treated with low-intensity FUS of the left vagus nerve for 15 min each trial. Continuous BP, heart rate, respiration rate (RR), and core body temperature were simultaneously recorded to evaluate the effects on BP and other physiological parameters. Heart rate variability (HRV), systolic BP variability, and baroreflex sensitivity were computed to evaluate the autonomic modulation function. A Control-sham group without stimulation and another Control-FUS group with non-target stimulation were also examined to exclude the influence of potential confounding factors on autonomic modulation.\n                    <jats:italic>Main results.<\/jats:italic>\n                    A prolonged significant decrease in BP, pulse pressure, RR, the normalized low-frequency power of HRV, and the low-to-high frequency power ratio of HRV were found after the low-intensity FUS of the left vagus nerve in comparison with the baseline and those of the control groups, demonstrating that activities of the sympathetic nervous system were inhibited. The prolonged significant increase of the normalized high-frequency power of HRV suggested the activation of parasympathetic activity.\n                    <jats:italic>Significance.<\/jats:italic>\n                    Low-intensity FUS of the left vagus nerve effectively improved the autonomic function by activating parasympathetic efferent and inhibiting sympathetic efferent, which contributes to BP reduction. The findings shed light on the hypotensive mechanism underlying FUS.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1088\/1741-2552\/aca8cd","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,5]],"date-time":"2022-12-05T17:18:30Z","timestamp":1670260710000},"page":"066036","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Autonomic modulation by low-intensity focused ultrasound stimulation of the vagus nerve"],"prefix":"10.1088","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7702-1537","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ning","family":"Ji","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7095-7276","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Yuanheng","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jingjing","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6988-492X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Fei","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8360-3605","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Lisheng","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guanglin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8953-8469","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Wan-Hua","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"266","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"jneaca8cdbib1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"639","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ccl.2010.07.002","article-title":"Resistant hypertension, secondary hypertension, and hypertensive crises: diagnostic evaluation and treatment","volume":"28","author":"Acelajado","year":"2010","journal-title":"Cardiol.
