American Journal of Physiology - Renal Physiology, 2021 OBJECTIVES This study was designed to investigate whether transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation (taVNS) would be able to improve major pathophysiologies of functional dyspepsia (FD) in patients with FD. METHODS Acute: Thirty-six FD patients (

Trust your gut: vagal nerve stimulation in humans improves reinforcement learning
Brain Communications, 2021 Whereas the effect of vagal nerve stimulation on emotional states is well established, its effect on cognitive functions is still unclear. Recent rodent studies show that vagal activation enhances reinforcement learning and neuronal dopamine release. The

Application of Noninvasive Vagal Nerve Stimulation to Stress-Related Psychiatric Disorders
Journal of Personalized Medicine, 2020 Background: Vagal Nerve Stimulation (VNS) has been shown to be efficacious for the treatment of depression, but to date, VNS devices have required surgical implantation, which has limited widespread implementation.
