Online Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation of Dorsomedial and Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex in Cognition Decision Making, and Cognitive Dissonance
Journal of Visualized Experiments. 2025. No. 226. Article e67500.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a powerful method for revealing causal links between specific brain regions and cognitive functions. While offline TMS has traditionally dominated cognitive neuroscience research, online repetitive TMS (rTMS) presents undoubted advantages, enabling stimulation concurrent with task performance. Leveraging advancements in this stimulation method, the study introduces a novel online rTMS protocol utilizing neuronavigation and robotic systems to precisely target dorsolateral and dorsomedial prefrontal cortices during an experimental procedure. Moreover, the utility of online rTMS in investigating the neural mechanisms underlying cognitive dissonance and neurochronometry of the choice-induced preference change was explored. For that purpose, a protocol for the high-frequency online rTMS was applied during the procedure with a within-subject blocked design and two control conditions. The study leads to principal conclusions for future TMS research, such as the importance of a proper set of time, location, and parameters of the stimulation, electric field modulation, and appropriate control conditions.

This paper focuses on reflexive problematic statements represented by modal judgments of validity (subjective truth) and their combinations. It is proposed to describe these statements at three levels: reflexive problematic statements per se, modal judgments that characterize the validity of sentences constituting complex statements, and matrix representations of modal judgments. Modal judgments, as part of ...

Antiviral activity is commonly summarized using endpoint measures such as EC50 or EC90, yet these quantities emerge from a dynamic biological system and depend on viral replication kinetics, host-cell properties, experimental design, and the assay used to quantify infection. Infectious-virus titers, viral RNA, infected-cell fractions, viability measurements, and immune readouts capture different components of the ...

Low-frequency vibrations play an essential role in biomolecular processes involving DNA such as gene expression, charge transfer, drug intercalation, and DNA–protein recognition. However, understanding the vibrational basis of these mechanisms relies on theoretical models due to the lack of experimental evidence. Here we present the low-frequency vibrational spectra of G-quadruplexes (structures formed by four strands ...

The concept of the I that is present in the scholarly and mundane consciousness is inwardly paradoxical, as it contains the risk of regression to “bad infinity”. Thus, “I see an object” obviously creates in me the image of the object; by implication, “someone” inside me sees the image of the perceived object and, consequently, ...

It is known that the motor cortex exhibits increased excitability during the systolic phase of the cardiac cycle (Al et al., 2023). Previous studies have shown that self-observation can enhance interoceptive sensitivity (Ainley et al., 2012). We hypothesized that visual stimuli enhancing bodily awareness could influence the relationship between the phase of the cardiac cycle and ...

Сortico-spinal neuron excitability can be tracked using rhythmic oscillations whose phase plays a pivotal role in assessing the state of the pertinent neural network. Brain’s oscillatory activity can be non-invasively registered with electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG). Using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) contingent upon the parameters of the ongoing brain activity was shown to have numerous applications in both research and clinics. Despite the potential, the described closed-loop ...

This paper investigates the relationship between artificial intelligence and architectural imagination by examining the uncanny dimension (Freud, Vidler) inherent in machine-generated images and spatial configurations. Drawing upon Freud’s concept of the Unheimlich and Baudelaire’s poetics of the double, it interprets AI-driven architectures as manifestations of disturbed familiarity, emerging from a syncretic combinatorial logic that challenges ...

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) match human performance in many visual tasks like the classification of images, however they may not simulate the underlying biological processes. We implemented a CNN to try replicate results from an object inversion experiment with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). After training on upright faces, the CNN model went through three stages ...
