Transcranial magnetic stimulation of medial prefrontal cortex modulates face expressions processing in a priming task

▸ The mPFC and rSC play a crucial role in emotional facial expression recognition. ▸ State-dependent TMS can reveal the role of a cortex area in the ongoing process. ▸ TMS over mPFC modulate angry and happy face discrimination in the priming task. ▸ TMS over rSC did not produce state-dependent effect during the priming task.
