Neuromodulatory Subcortical Systems PIA: Effects of vagus nerve stimulation on central neuromodulation

May 12, 2023
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is thought to affect neuromodulatory activity, especially in the locus coeruleus, one of the first sites to accumulate abnormal tau. We discuss studies showing VNS effects on various markers of central neuromodulation.
