Retrieving information from long-term memory can result in the episodic forgetting of related material. One influential account states that this retrieval-induced (RIF) phenomenon reflects inhibitory mechanisms called into play to decrease retrieval competition. Recent neuroimaging studies suggested prefrontal cortex, which is critically engaged processing, also involved competition situations. Here, we used transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) address whether processes could be...
Abstract The aim of this study is to investigate whether expectancy, induced through a placebo procedure, favors the activation corticospinal tract before movement initiation. By adopting premovement facilitation paradigm, we applied transcranial magnetic stimulation over left or right primary motor cortex at rest and 100 ms 50 onset while healthy volunteers performed reaction time (RT) task consisting abductions thumb after go signal. Participants in group received an inert electrical...
Negative emotional stimuli can strongly bias attention, particularly in individuals with high levels of dispositional negative affect (NA). The current study investigated whether the prefrontal cortex (PFC), a brain region involved top-down regulation processing, plays different role controlling attention to emotions, depending on individual NA. Sham and anodal transcranial direct stimulation (tDCS) was delivered over right or left PFC while assessing attentional (AB) emotions (happy, angry,...
Physical exercise has an impact in biasing attention to positive or negative emotional stimuli. While attentional shift emotions varies with age, evidence is lacking on the effect of prolonged endurance age-related bias emotions. This study aims at filling this knowledge gap, by applying a dot-probe task measure before and after half-marathon healthy participants different ages (age range 21-65 years). State anxiety, affect were also assessed. Younger adults showed towards anger away from...
