Abstract
ⶠNeuroimaging studies had highlighted the importance of the DLPFC in language switching. ⶠThe nature of language switching and its neural correlates have not been clearly established. ⶠWe used TBS in a bilingual patient showing pathologic language switching. ⶠAn interruption of language switching occurred after excitatory left DLPFC stimulation. ⶠInhibitory left DLPFC TBS transiently increased the language switching. ⶠOur findings suggest that left DLPFC is actively involved in language switching. ⶠTMS techniques may help in understanding the neural bases of bilingualism.
