TMS disruption of the lateral prefrontal cortex increases neural activity in the default mode network when naming facial expressions
bioRxiv March 10, 2023 David Pitcher, Magdalena Sliwinska, Daniel Kaiser preprint
Recognizing facial expressions is dependent on multiple brain networks specialized for different cognitive functions. In the current study participants ( N =20) were scanned using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) while they performed a covert facial expression naming task. Immediately prior to scanning thetaburst transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was delivered over the right...
