Exploring the impact of transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation in subjects with and without burnout: Potential benefits for executive function and neural processing [PDF]
Introduction: Many brain disorders and conditions, including occupational burnout, are linked with challenges in executive function (EF). Yet, there is a lack of treatments geared at restoring them. We have previously demonstrated that VNS enhances EF in
