Patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) often have compromised quality of life (QOL). Cognitive impairment is a major contributor to decrements in QOL and progression of MCI often leads to loss of independence and withdrawal from social participation. MCI, in many patients, is an early expression of neurodegenerative disease. Patients with MCI frequently convert to Alzheimer's disease (AD) (12-16 percent by some estimates per year). Treatments for MCI are of limited scope and availability and of limited effectiveness. Thus, there is great need for treatments that can improve cognition and extend QOL in patients with MCI. The investigators propose to investigate the effect of a non-invasive and safe intervention that should have direct influence on brain systems underlying AD, transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation (tVNS).

Primary | Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (Total Delayed Recall) | The Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) is a verbal learning and memory task with a 15-item word list learned over 5 trials. The total delayed recall score is the number of total correct words recalled (ranging from 0 to 15) after a 30 minute delay. | 30 minutes after administration of 5 list learning trials; 2 minutes to complete delayed recall of word-list |
