S21. Event-Related Repetitive TMS to Right Posterior STS (But Not Occipital Face Area) in Healthy Volunteers (Hv) Briefly Recapitulates Face Emotion Recognition (Fer) Deficits of Schizophrenia (Sz)
Abstract:BackgroundProfound FER deficits exist in Sz, causing social disability, though can be partly remediated with computer-based training. Neurostimulation might augment remediation if critical nodes were identified. We aimed to 1) briefly recapitulate FER deficits of Sz in HV using rTMS to rpSTS, 2) identify connectivity patterns of rpSTS regressed by FER, and 3) apply TMS to rpSTS with fMRI as readout.Methods1) Nine healthy volunteers had rTMS (10 Hz; 500 msec; 110% RMT) to rpSTS or rOFA (counterbalanced; 10/10 s… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
