Clinical trials: Prefrontal Cortex
Schizophrenia
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Influences on Cognitive Inhibition in Schizophrenia
A deficit in cognitive suppression is a trait of patients with schizophrenia. Cognitive suppression is the ability to control or suppress irrelevant responses and to adopt relevant responses instead.

Late Life Depression
TBS,TMS, Suicidal Ideation, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex, Ventrolateral Prefrontal Cortex
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive brain stimulation technique, its approved therapeutic indication is high-frequency stimulation to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) for treatment resistant.
