Medial prefrontal cortex stimulation abolishes implicit reactions to threats and prevents the return of fear

2023-02-07

Abstract excerpt

Down-regulating emotional overreactions toward threats is fundamental for developing treatments for anxiety and post-traumatic disorders. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is critical for top-down modulatory processes, and despite previous studies adopting repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) over this region provided encouraging results in enhancing extinction, no studies have hitherto explored the effec...
