Summary

This study looks at how an implanted device that stimulates the vagus nerve affects the brain and body in people with depression that hasn't improved with other treatments. Researchers will measure brain waves and heart activity in 12 adults to understand these changes. The goal is to learn more about how the therapy works, not to test a new treatment.
