Project description

Recent neuro-cognitive research has related mood disorders to a deficit in strategic attentional processes within a frontocortical-subcortical network. The aim of this project is to explore these prefrontal attentional problems through rTMS and ERP during experimental attention paradigms, to investigate the functional relation between cognitive control and clinical symptomatology.
