Effects of vagus nerve stimulation on cognitive function in patients with epilepsy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Previous studies showed that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) can improve cognitive function in patients with epilepsy, but there is still great controversy about the effect of VNS on cognitive function in patients with epilepsy.

Objective: To investigate the effect of VNS on the cognitive function of epilepsy patients.

Methods: Clinical trials published in PubMed, The Cochrane Library, and Embase before September 20, 2022, were comprehensively searched.

Genome-Wide Transcript and Small RNA Profiling Reveals Transcriptomic Responses to Heat Stress.

Because of climate change, crops will experience increasing heat stress. However, the ways in which heat stress affects crop growth and yield at the molecular level remain poorly understood. We generated spatiotemporal mRNA and small RNA transcriptome data, spanning seven tissues at three time points, to investigate the effects of heat stress on vegetative and reproductive development in maize ().
