Objective: Transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation (taVNS) may benefit cognition
in healthy adults but may differentially affect specific domains of cognitive function. Currently …

Brain stimulation approaches are important to gain causal mechanistic insights into the
relevance of functional brain regions and/or neurophysiological systems for human cognitive …

Background There are 9.9 million new cases of dementia in the world every year. Short-term
conversion rate from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to dementia is between 20% and 40 …

The idea that we can influence neurons with electricity is not new. Earlier this century
patients were treated, and still are, with electro convulsive therapy as a treatment for severe …

Introduction Invasive vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) improves word recognition memory in
patients with epilepsy. Recent studies with transcutaneous VNS (tVNS) have also shown …

Background Individuals are able to perform goal-directed behaviors thanks to executive
functions. According to the neurovisceral integration model, executive functions are …

Neurophysiological evidence that transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation (taVNS)
affects neuronal signalling at the cortical level is sparse. We used transcranial magnetic …

Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation, which involves the application of electrical
currents to the cervical (tcVNS) or auricular (taVNS) branches of the vagus nerve, may be a …

Objectives As a potential treatment for epilepsy, transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve
stimulation (taVNS) has yielded inconsistent results. Combining transcranial magnetic …

Background Electrical stimulation of the auricular branch of the vagus nerve (ABVN) via
transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) may influence afferent vagal …
