Modulating the Locus Coeruleus Function

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) on specific brain regions involved in memory and attention processes. tVNS is a non-invasive and non-pharmacological technique known for targeting the locus coeruleus, a small subcortical nucleus in the brain thought to be involved in the earliest stages of Alzheimer's disease. This nucleus also plays a role in numerous cognitive functions, comprising memory and attention.
