Vagus nerve stimulation induces widespread cortical and behavioral activation

Lindsay Collins et al.

Summary: Through mouse models, it has been discovered that VNS can modulate cortical state by activating neuromodulatory systems, leading to widespread neuronal activation and arousal responses.

Adam D. Farmer et al.

Summary: Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) is gaining interest in basic, translational, and clinical research due to its non-invasive nature. Future studies need to focus on reporting practices, stimulation parameters, and participant safety to advance the field. Additionally, advancements in animal research may have implications for the application of tVNS in humans.

Electrical stimulation of the external ear acutely activates noradrenergic mechanisms in humans

Michael A. Urbin et al.

Summary: The study investigated the acute pupillary responses elicited by transcutaneous stimulation of the external ear, finding that stimulation at different locations can provoke such responses, with effects influenced by pulse amplitude and frequency. Further research is needed to distinguish the roles of vagal and non-vagal afferents in mediating biomarker activation.

Effects of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation on reversal learning, tonic pupil size, salivary alpha-amylase, and cortisol

Martina D'Agostini et al.

Summary: The study found that taVNS did not significantly improve performance on the reversal task overall, and the taVNS group performed worse for distractor cues compared to the sham group. There was no increase in tonic pupil size and sAA levels with taVNS, but post hoc analyses suggested a potential effect on cortisol levels. Exploratory analyses showed that taVNS decreased respiratory rate, but did not affect CVA.
