Ventrolateral but not Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex tDCS effectively impact emotion reappraisal - effects on Emotional Experience and Interbeat Interval.

ABSTRACT: Emotions can be understood as behavioral, physiological, and subjective individual's alteration due to a given situation. Several times, an efficient regulation of these emotions can promote psychological and social survival. It has been demonstrated that the Prefrontal Cortex (PFC) presents a relevant role in cognitive control, especially during emotion regulation strategies. However, evidence for the role of the PFC and emotional regulation comes mostly from neuroimaging experiments lacking from causal information. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) has been shown to be an efficient noninvasive neuromodulation technique capable to address causal hypothesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of two regions of the PFC (Dorsolateral and Ventrolateral region) on d
