Although repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is currently used to investigate neural connections in the living human brain, it remains largely unclear as to how rTMS can alter emotional processing.We examined in uniform samples of healthy female volunteers whether a single high frequency (HF)-rTMS session applied to the DLPFC could influence the processing of positively and negatively valenced emotional stimuli.In our earlier research, we developed a specially adapted fMRI paradigm with only baby faces as emotional visual stimuli.
