Mechanisms of taVNS-induced working memory enhancement: a multimodal fNIRS-HRV-MEP study.
Cognitive neurodynamics·December 1, 2026·PMID 42153185
Why it matterstaVNS is a non-invasive neuromodulation tool with growing interest for cognitive enhancement. This study provides mechanistic insight by linking autonomic, cortical, and corticospinal changes to domain-specific working memory improvements, which may inform future protocols for cognitive rehabilitation or performance optimization.
