Poster Award for Maike Kneist

For her poster on “taVNS Effects on Cognitive Emotion Regulation: the Modulatory Role of Noradrenergic Activity,” our doctoral student Maike Kneist (pictured left with Dr. Valerie Jentsch) recently received an award at the “Psyche und Gehirn” congress in Heidelberg.

In the presented study, Maike Kneist investigated the effects of taVNS (transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation—a non-invasive method for gentle activation of the vagus nerve at the ear) on cognitive emotion regulation.
