Background A growing body of evidence suggests that transcutaneous auricular vagus
nerve stimulation (taVNS) may relieve symptoms of migraineurs. Frequency is one of the key …

Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) is a non-invasive and safe technique that
transiently enhances brain GABA and noradrenaline levels. Although tVNS has been used …

Disorders of consciousness (DoC) are the hallmark of severe acquired brain injuries
characterized by abnormal activity in important brain areas and disruption within and …

Everyday tasks and goal-directed behavior involve the maintenance and continuous
updating of information in working memory (WM). WM gating reflects switches between …

This systematic review was conducted to evaluate the effect of heart rate variability
biofeedback (HRV BFB) on performance of athletes. Six electronic databases (Springerlink …

Worrying is a central component of anxiety disorders. We tested whether non-invasive vagus
nerve stimulation reduces negative thought intrusions in high worriers. Worry was assessed …

Efforts in optimizing transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) are crucial to further
develop its potential in improving cognitive and autonomic regulation. The present study …

Objective Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) has been hypothesized to
modulate γ-aminobutyric (GABA) transmission in the human brain. GABA in the motor cortex …

Extinction memories are fragile and their formation has been proposed to partially rely on
vagus nerve activity. We tested whether stimulating the auricular branch of the vagus …

Background It has been suggested that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) may enhance
attention and working memory. The neuromodulator effects of VNS are thought to activate …
