Modulation of a fronto-parietal network in event-based prospective memory: An rTMS study

► Stimulation on the right dorso-lateral prefrontal cortex affects PM task. ► rTMS on the prefrontal sites affects ongoing activity only under PM task demands (not related to cue detection). ► rTMS on left parietal cortex facilitates ongoing activity and interferes with PM task. ► Early DLPFC activity is related to target checking but not to cue detection. ► Left parietal cortex is associated to retrieval of the intended action.
