3/3 w/
@numole.bsky.social @kathlingelbach.bsky.social & Gesa Hartwigsen at @mpicbs.bsky.social we applied rTMS while people suppressed memories. Perturbing activity in the dlPFC (vs. M1) led to more unwanted intrusions & prevented forgetting. ➡️ Evidence for prefrontal contribution to suppression!

2/3 When confronted with a reminder to an unwanted memory, we can suppress its retrieval – a process known to induce forgetting. fMRI indicates that suppression is based on hippocampal inhibition tied to activity in the right dlPFC. However, is the dlPFC really causally involved in suppression?

1/3 Excited to share my first paper w/ co-first-author Davide Stramaccia in @rolandbenoit.bsky.social's lab! Causal evidence for right dlPFC involvement in #memory control: #TMS made it harder to stop intrusive memories & suppression didn't cause forgetting @jocn.bsky.social
