Abstrakt		The superficial region of the left vagus nerve of a dog, innervating the stommach, was selectively stimulated with implanted 39-electrode spiral cuff to modulate the pH. The cuff, having thirteen circumferential groups of three electrodes were chronically implanted on the left vagus nerve at the neck in two adult Beagle dogs. Corresponding superficial region, being in contact with certain group of three electrodes, was stimulated for I S seconds with biphasic, rectangular and current pulses (2mA, 200 micros, 20Hz). The results showed that group of three electrodes No. 7 elicited the most acidic gastric juce within the stommach. Namely, it was shown that stimulation lasting 15 seconds lowered the pH from pHl.6 down to pH1.34. Results of this study clearly demonstrate that internal organs can be selectively stimulated via the selective stimulation of innervating superficial regions of the autonomic peripheral nerve.
