Vagus Nerve Stimulation as a Potential Therapy in Early Alzheimer’s Disease: A Review
- BiologyFrontiers in Human Neuroscience
- 2022
VNS has the potential to be a broadly available therapy to manage cognitive symptoms in early AD, however, the magnitude and specificity of its effects remains to be elucidated, and the non- inferiority of the effects of non-invasive VNS as compared with invasive VNS still needs to be established.

It is hypothesized that nVNS increased attention compared to sham, and that this effect led to enhanced executive functions, and consequently to better performance on visuospatial reasoning and recognition tasks.
Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS) Improves High-Confidence Recognition Memory but Not Emotional Word Processing

Whereas tVNS showed no effects on word processing, subtle effects on recollection-based memory performance emerged, which may indicate that tV NS facilitates hippocampus-mediated consolidation processes.

The preliminary results of this study corroborate the concept of selectively targeting regions of the nerve with electrical stimulation in order to treat specific patient needs and could be employed as a planning tool prior to the geometrical design and surgical implantation of VNS devices.

T-VNS offers exciting potential as a therapeutic intervention in cognitive decline and aging populations, classically affected by reduced cerebral perfusion by modulating both limbic and frontal cortical structures, regulating cerebral perfusions and improving parasympathetic modulation of the cardiovascular system.

TVNS via the inner tragus or cymba conchae suppressed neural activity in the auditory, limbic, and other tinnitus-related non-auditory areas through auditory and vagal ascending pathways in tinn Titus patients, indicating that the mechanism of action of tVNS might be involved in multiple brain areas responsible for the generation of tinnitis, tinnites-related emotional annoyance, and their mutual reinforcement.
