Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) is an emerging non-invasive technique designed to stimulate branches of the distributed over body surface. Studies suggest a correlation between brain-gut-microbiota (BGM) axis and pathogenesis Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The BGM represents complex bidirectional communication system, with being crucial component. Therefore, electrical might have potential modify—most time probably in non-physiological way—the signal transmission within axis, potentially influencing progression or symptoms AD. This review explores interaction percutaneous emphasizing its effects on It examines various aspects, such as specific brain regions, gut microbiota composition, maintenance intestinal environmental homeostasis, inflammatory responses, plasticity, hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) regulation. suggests that tVNS could serve effective strategy modulate intervene treatment future.

Attentional states reflect the changing behavioral relevance of stimuli in one's environment, having important consequences for learning and memory. Supporting well-established cortical contributions, attentional are hypothesized to originate from subcortical neuromodulatory nuclei, such as basal forebrain (BF) locus coeruleus (LC), which among first change with aging. Here, we characterized interplay between BF LC nuclei their relation two common afferent targets attention memory, posterior cingulate cortex hippocampus, across adult lifespan. Using an auditory target discrimination task during functional MRI, examined influence salience on task-dependent connectivity younger (19-45 years) older adults (66-86 years). In adults, was largely driven by processing, while associated distractor processing. These patterns reversed adults.

Overall, these results reveal distinct roles systems related potential aging, consistent managing increased behaviorally irrelevant distraction Such prominent differences coupling lifespan suggests they may be drivers widespread changes neurocognitive middle age opportune time intervention.

Human operators of remote and semi-autonomous systems must have a high level executive function to safely efficiently conduct operations. These face unique cognitive challenges when monitoring controlling robotic machines, such as vehicles, drones, construction equipment. The development safe experienced human machines requires structured training credentialing programs. This review critically evaluates the potential for incorporating neurotechnology into operator work enhance human-machine interactions, performance, safety. Recent evidence demonstrating that different noninvasive neuromodulation neurofeedback methods can improve critical functions attention, learning, memory, control is reviewed. We further describe how these approaches be used outcomes, well teleoperator vigilance decision-making. also help during complex or high-risk tasks by mitigating impulsive decision-making errors. While our advocates programs, continued research required evaluate will impact industrial safety workforce readiness.
