Summary: Revenge behavior is a complex process and activation in the right DLPFC may increase revenge behavior, helping to control self-interest and retaliation tendencies. The study results also suggest that the right DLPFC plays a crucial role in revenge behavior related to the motivation of invasion.

Summary: This study utilized transcranial magnetic stimulation to investigate the role of the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in suppressing distractors during visual processing. The findings suggest that the DLPFC plays a crucial role in visuospatial distractor suppression and is more involved in location-based distractor suppression than color-based one. Furthermore, stimuli-onset TMS to the right DLPFC eliminated the location cueing effect but had no specific effect on the colored distractor.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of non-invasive brain stimulation on working memory performance. The results show that under specific conditions, using transcranial alternating current stimulation at a frequency of 5 Hz on the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex can significantly improve working memory performance.

Summary: This study compared the cognitive effects and acceptability of rTMS and tDCS in patients with AD or MCI, finding that HFrTMS is more effective for improving global cognition and individuals with AD may respond better to rTMS and tDCS.

Summary: This study compared the effectiveness of low frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over different brain regions for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The results showed that both active treatment groups outperformed the sham group in improving OCD symptoms. Patients with shorter illness duration, lower baseline scores, and fewer comorbidities responded better to the treatment.

Summary: There is increasing evidence suggesting that the brain predicts sensory input based on past experiences, which significantly influences how we perceive the world. In this study, the researchers used noninvasive brain stimulation to explore the neural basis of predictive processing and provided causal evidence of frequency-specific modulations in humans.

Summary: This study compared the therapeutic efficacy of rTMS at the left motor cortex (lMC) and left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (lDLPFC) in MDD patients. The results showed no significant difference in treatment outcomes and tolerability between the two groups. The findings suggest that lMC can be a potential and easily accessible rTMS target.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on behavioral impulsivity in methamphetamine addicts. The results showed that the tDCS intervention counterproductively increased behavioral impulsivity in the addicts. The study suggests that other protocols should be considered for the intervention of methamphetamine addicts in the future.

Summary: High-frequency rTMS over the ipsilesional DLPFC has beneficial effects on cognition and mood recovery in patients with subacute stroke. The improvement in cognitive abilities is more significant in patients with left hemispheric lesions, while patients with right hemispheric lesions show greater improvement in cognition.

Summary: Migraines can have a significant negative impact on patients' quality of life and society as a whole. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a promising non-pharmacological treatment option for migraines, with potential benefits in inhibiting pain perception.However, there is conflicting evidence on the effectiveness of rTMS for migraine prevention, necessitating further research and systematic reviews.

Summary: The study aimed to use atlas-based marking of cortical areas for nTMS targeting to achieve effects consistent with expert-selected target locations. In depression and schizophrenia patients, the selected targets were close to the border between atlas areas, while in other areas, the targets were consistent with treatment goals.

Summary: Research using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) revealed the crucial role of the right DLPFC in risky and ambiguous decision-making. Anodal stimulation measurably increased individuals' preference for ambiguity, while no significant differences were observed in preferences for risky choices.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the potential effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) protocols on cardiovascular autonomic system (ANS) control. The results showed that applying excitatory and inhibitory rTMS protocols can significantly improve cardiovascular ANS control, reducing blood pressure and heart rate changes, and significantly improving heart rate variability. These improvements were observed when applying either excitatory rTMS protocols to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex or inhibitory rTMS protocols to the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Overall, these findings suggest that applying excitatory and inhibitory rTMS protocols on prefrontal cortical regions may be effective in improving cardiovascular ANS control.

Summary: The effect of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on the sensitive decision making of female team sports referees was investigated. The results showed that anodal tDCS significantly improved decision performance and impulsivity control compared to cathodal and sham tDCS. These findings suggest that anodal tDCS may be an effective method to enhance decision performance in female team sports referees.
