Key result
Transcutaneous Vagal Nerve Stimulation (tVNS) is proposed as a promising, non-invasive neuromodulation tool to investigate cognitive processes related to norepinephrine, GABA, and acetylcholine in healthy humans.
This opinion article highlights the potential of transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation as a non-invasive tool for studying neuromodulation and cognitive functions in healthy humans.
tVNS should not alter clinical neuromodulation protocols; leaves open rigorous testing of its utility for cognitive neurotransmitter research.
