In contrast, the smartvagus, which originates in the nucleus ambiguus, is distinctly mammalian, and mediates cardiac activity when environmental demands require extrareptilian coping.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The autonomic component is mediated by the myelinatedvagus, which reduces fear and promotes calm behavioral states.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Thevagusalso regulates the stress response in other organs such as the bronchi, esophagus, pharynx, and heart.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This neural influence on the heart is proposed to originate from the nucleus ambiguus via myelinated tracts of thevagus(10th cranial nerve).

The contribution of thevagusnerve in interleukin-1 beta-induced fever is dependent on dose.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Thevagus, the primary parasympathetic pathway to the heart, rapidly regulates cardiac output during environmental challenge.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The deceleratory parasympathetic component is provided by thevagus, or tenth cranial nerve.
From theCambridge English Corpus
These actions are opposed by parasympathetic innervation via thevagusnerve.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Thevagushas an inhibitory effect on the contraction of the laryngeal muscles.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The physiological connection between distress and high-pitched crying is mediated by thevagus, in particular the branch of the vagus linking the nucleus ambiguus to the larynx.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Acoustic analyses of the infant cry emphasize measures of the fundamental frequency, in part because cry production models emphasize the role of thevagusand its relationship to fundamental frequency.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This method utilizes an electrode implanted near the medulla in order to send electrical impulses to thevagusnerve.

However, the very existence of this cranial component has been recently questioned and seen as contributing exclusively to thevagusnerve.
