Network‐based rTMS to modulate working memory: The difficult choice of effective parameters for online interventions

Abstract Background Online repetitive transcranialmagnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been shown to modulate working memory (WM) performance in a site‐specific manner, with behavioral improvements due to stimulation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), and impairment from stimulation to the la...
