TL;DR: Converging evidence is provided that the right SMG contributes to accurate and efficient phonological decisions in the healthy brain, with no evidence that the left andright SMG can compensate for one another during TMS.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the response to TMS depends on how excitable the cortex is at the time the stimulus is applied: if many neurones are close to firing threshold then the more of them are recruited by the pulse than at rest.

TL;DR: A conceptual framework is provided, emphasizing principal strategies and highlighting promising future directions to exploit the benefits of combining NTBS with neuroimaging or electrophysiology to close the loop between measuring and modulating brain activity by means of closed-loop brain state-dependent NTBS.

TL;DR: An important feature of the response to TMS is "context dependency", which indicates that the response depends on how excitable the cortex is at the time the stimulus is applied: if many neurones are close to firing threshold then the more of them are recruited by the pulse than at rest.

TL;DR: The results from patients with acute stroke lesions support the claim that language is organized along two segregated dorsal–ventral streams, and is the first lesion study demonstrating that task performance on auditory comprehension measures requires an interaction between temporal and prefrontal brain regions via the ventral extreme capsule pathway.
