Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS) Enhances Response Selection During Sequential Action [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 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 mainly to treat clinical disorders such as epilepsy, recent studies indicate it ...

tVNS Increases Liking of Orally Sampled Low-Fat Foods: A Pilot Study [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2020 Recently a role for the vagus nerve in conditioning food preferences was established in rodents. In a prospective controlled clinical trial in humans, invasive vagus nerve stimulation shifted food choice toward lower fat content. Here we explored whether

Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS) and the Dynamics of Visual Bistable Perception [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019 Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) is widely used for clinical applications, but its mechanism of action is poorly understood. One candidate pathway that might mediate the effects of tVNS is an increase in GABAergic neurotransmission.

Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS) does not increase prosocial behavior in Cyberball [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 Emerging research suggests that individuals experience vicarious social pain (i.e., ostracism). It has been proposed that observing ostracism increases activity in the insula and in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), two key brain regions activated by directly

Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation Effects on Flavor‐Evoked Electroencephalogram and Eye‐Blink Rate [PDF]
Brain and BehaviorIntroduction Chemosensory food signals are carried by the vagus nerve (VN) from the gut to the brain and these signals contribute to communicating fullness and caloric value of the consumed food in regulatory and reward‐related contexts.
