Intraneural microelectrodes have been used extensively to record from single somatosensory axons supplying muscle, tendons, joints and skin, as well as to record from postganglionic sympathetic axons supplying muscle and skin, in accessible peripheral nerves in awake humans. However, the vagus nerve has never been targeted, probably because of its close proximity to the carotid artery and jugular vein in the neck. Here, we report the first unitary recordings from the human cervical vagus nerve, obtained using ultrasound-guided insertion of tungsten microelectrodes into fascicles of the nerve. We identified tonically-active neurones in which firing rates were inversely related to heart rate (and directly related to the cardiac interval), whi...
