Prolonged longitudinal transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation effects on striatal functional connectivity in patients with major depressive disorder
Abstract:The cortical-striatal abnormalities are commomly found in the mental disorders. Instant transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) has been found to modulate the ventral striatial functional connectivity (FC) in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). However, the neural mechanism of prolonged longitudinal taVNS treatment on different striatal subregions has not yet been elucidated. We used resting state functional magnetic resonance to estimate the effect of taVNS on the FC of striatal su… Show more
