Diminishing risk-taking behavior by modulating activity in the prefrontal cortex: a direct current stimulation studyShirley Fecteau
Berenson Allen Center for Noninvasive Brain Stimulation, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02215, USA
J Neurosci 27:12500-5. 2007....- Disruption of right prefrontal cortex by low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation induces risk-taking behaviorDaria Knoch
Department of Neurology, PET Center, Division of Nuclear Medicine, University Hospital Zurich, 8091 Zurich, Switzerland
J Neurosci 26:6469-72. 2006..The ability to modify risk-taking behavior may be translated into therapeutic interventions for disorders such as drug abuse or pathological gambling... - Suppressing versus releasing a habit: frequency-dependent effects of prefrontal transcranial magnetic stimulationDaria Knoch
Department of Neurology, University Hospital Zurich, CH 8091 Zurich, Switzerland
Cereb Cortex 15:885-7. 2005..These findings confirm the functional importance of specifically the left DLPFC in sequential response production and show, for the first time, that rTMS affects cognitive processing in a frequency-dependent manner... - Synesthesia: when colors countDaria Knoch
Department of Neurology, University Hospital Zurich, CH 8091 Zurich, Switzerland
Brain Res Cogn Brain Res 25:372-4. 2005..In a random color generation task, we found evidence for an implicit co-activation of digits by colors, a finding that constrains neurological theories concerning cross-modal associations in general and synesthesia in particular... - Lateralized and frequency-dependent effects of prefrontal rTMS on regional cerebral blood flowD Knoch
Department of Neurology, University Hospital Zurich, Frauenklinikstrasse 26, CH 8091 Zurich, Switzerland
Neuroimage 31:641-8. 2006..These differential neurophysiological effects of short-train rTMS with respect to side and frequency suggest hemisphere-dependent functional circuits of frontal cortico-subcortical areas... - Mitempfindung in synaesthetes: co-incidence or meaningful association?Anna Burrack
Department of Neurology, University Hospital Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
Cortex 42:151-4. 2006..To better characterize the nature of the purported neurophysiological peculiarities, prospective studies are needed that characterize Mitempfindung in synaesthetes and nonsynaesthetes... - Semantic, perceptual and number space: relations between category width and spatial processingPeter Brugger
Department of Neurology, University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland
Neurosci Lett 418:133-7. 2007..Linguistic and spatial cognition may be more tightly interwoven than is currently assumed... - Brain damage and addictive behavior: a neuropsychological and electroencephalogram investigation with pathologic gamblersMarianne Regard
Department of Neurology, University Hospital, Zurich, Switzerland
Cogn Behav Neurol 16:47-53. 2003..Because gamblers are not regarded as "brain-lesioned" and gambling is nontoxic, gambling is a model to test whether addicted "healthy" people are relatively impaired in frontolimbic neuropsychological functions... - Diminishing reciprocal fairness by disrupting the right prefrontal cortexDaria Knoch
Institute for Empirical Research in Economics, University of Zurich, Blumlisalpstrasse 10, 8006 Zurich, Switzerland
Science 314:829-32. 2006..Importantly, however, subjects still judge such offers as very unfair, which indicates that the right DLPFC plays a key role in the implementation of fairness-related behaviors... - Resisting the power of temptations: the right prefrontal cortex and self-controlDaria Knoch
Institute of Empirircal Research in Economics, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
Ann N Y Acad Sci 1104:123-34. 2007..Based on the results of these studies, we dare to claim that the capacity to resist temptation depends on the activity level of the right prefrontal cortex (PFC)... - Studying the neurobiology of social interaction with transcranial direct current stimulation--the example of punishing unfairnessDaria Knoch
Institute for Empirical Research in Economics, University of Zurich, 8006 Zurich, Switzerland
Cereb Cortex 18:1987-90. 2008..Here we show that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can overcome these limits. We apply right prefrontal cathodal tDCS and show that subjects' propensity to punish unfair behavior is reduced significantly...
