Caption

Vascular oscillations are associated with stronger long-term learning. Repeated vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) after training induced rhythmic blood-volume changes near the cerebellar flocculus. Mice with larger vascular oscillations tended to perform better on Day 5, suggesting an association between VNS-induced vascular dynamics and a brain environment favorable for long-term learning.
