Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) has been delivered to patient populations (e.g. depression, epilepsy, …) for more than 25 years and there has been some indications that this technique has effects on cognition, more specifically memory. Studies have investigated VNS as a way to improve memory performance and it has been shown in some studies to enhance memory in rats and humans. It has also demonstrated to produce changes in the electrophysiological and metabolic profile of forebrain and brainstem structures involved in learning and memory.
