The researchers shut down activity in peoples» posterior medial frontal cortex using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)-- a noninvasive technique that sends magnetic energy through the scalp. (sciencemag.org)
This module included the precuneus (PCun), posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), inferior parietal cortex, superior medial frontal cortex, and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). (journals.plos.org)
Moreover, brain imaging showed grey matter atrophy in the medial frontal cortex of older adults, which suggests that deterioration within the frontal lobe prevents deep slow waves from perfectly syncing up with spindles. (sciencedaily.com)
