Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation Modulating the Brain Topological Architecture of Functional Network in Major Depressive Disorder: An fMRI Study
These findings demonstrated that taVNS may be an effective method for reducing the severity of depressive symptoms in patients with MDD, mainly through modulating the brain's topological organization. Our study may offer insights into the underlying neural mechanism of taVNS treatment in patients with MDD.
