OTHER FUNCTIONS OF THE VENTRAL BRANCH OF THE VAGUS NERVE The ventral branch of the vagus nerve originates in the brainstem, at the top of the spinal cord under the brain. (See "

L The test for CN XI gives the same results in terms of indicating function/ dysfunction as do tests for the ventral branch of CN X. CN XI AND THE VENTRAL VAGUS BRANCH The Trap Squeeze Test for CN XI gives us an indication of the function/ dysfunction of not only CN XI but also the other four nerves n

he supraspinatus muscle (along the top of the shoulder blade) to improve the tonus of the levator scapulae. (See "Supraspinatus" in the Appendix.) Benjamin Shield suggested another approach. He observed that with a side-bending of the upper cervical vertebrae, you can open the spaces between Cl and C3 to take

minute or two before your blood pressure adjusts and pumps more blood to your brain. 190 EFTA00810192 The Basic Exercise CERVICAL VERTEBRAE AND VENTRAL VAGAL DYSFUNCTION When I test clients and find that they have ventral vagal dysfunction, I also observe that they have an upper cervical misalignme
