Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation ameliorates adolescent depressive- and anxiety-like behaviors via hippocampus glycolysis and inflammation response

CONCLUSION: taVNS is capable of ameliorating adolescent depressive- and anxiety-like behaviors by regulating plenty of genes in the three brain regions. Suppressed level of inflammatory response and enhanced glycolysis manifests the dominant role of taVNS in HIP, which provides a theoretical foundation and data support for the molecular mechanism of antidepression by taVNS.PMID:38358062 | PMC:PMC10867795 | DOI:10.1111/cns.14614
