Feasibility and effectiveness of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) in awake mice

CNS Neuroscience & Therapeutics
AbstractAimsTranscutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is widely used to treat a variety of disorders because it is noninvasive, safe, and well tolerated by awake patients. However, long‐term and repetitive taVNS is difficult to achieve in awake mice.

Acupuncture for Major Depressive Disorder: Exploring the Gut Microbiota as a Novel Therapeutic Pathway

Brain and Behavior, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
Acupuncture at GV20 and ST36 alleviates depression by modulating gut microbiota, increasing beneficial bacteria, and enhancing neuroactive metabolites like Sphinganine 1‐phosphate, thereby restoring neuronal activity and reducing depressive behaviors. ABSTRACT Aims This study investigates the efficacy of acupuncture at Baihui (GV20) and Zusanli (ST36 ...

Impact of Stimulation Duration in taVNS—Exploring Multiple Physiological and Cognitive Outcomes

Brain Sciences
Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique that modulates the noradrenergic activity of the locus coeruleus (LC). Yet, there is still uncertainty about the most effective stimulation and reliable outcome parameters.

Acupuncture's Multisystem Neuroimmunomodulation: Central–Peripheral Interactions in Gastroenteric, Psychiatric, and Chronic Pain Disorders

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.
This work elucidates acupuncture's multisystem therapeutic mechanisms through central‐peripheral crosstalk. Using functional gastrointestinal disorders, psychiatric disorders, and chronic pain models, we demonstrate its efficacy in rebalancing gut‐brain signaling, neuroimmune‐endocrine integration, and humoral network modulation.

Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation inhibits mental stress‐induced cortisol release—Potential implications for inflammatory conditions

Physiological Reports
Elevated glucocorticoid levels with reduced glucocorticoid responsiveness have been reported in chronic inflammatory conditions. Activation of neurons in the nucleus of the solitary tract by transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) may ...

Gut sensing of food ingredients and interoception‐mediated regulation of feeding and glucose metabolism

Physiological Reports, Volume 13, Issue 21, November 2025.
Abstract Food intake not only provides pleasure through exteroceptive sensations such as taste and smell but also elicits beneficial physiological effects via interoceptive signals arising from the gastrointestinal tract and beyond. Among these interoceptive pathways, vagal sensory (vagal afferent) nerves play a central role in transmitting food ...
