πŸ“š New preprint on the roles of left IFG and pre-SMA in semantic and executive control

We have a new preprint out where we investigated the causal contributions of two key regions of cognitive control: the left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and the pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA) in the medial frontal gyrus using TMS.
