Official title
Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Potential
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) activates neural pathways leading to the release of chemicals that promote plasticity and learning. Previous work has shown that the auricular branch of the vagus nerve innervates landmarks on the external ear. Work from the PI's laboratory has shown that electrical current applied to the external ear activates neural pathways implicated in the therapeutic effects of VNS. The broad objective of this project is to better understand physiological mechanisms that are modulated by auricular stimulation and its potential to enhance motor learning.
