Relaxing learned constraints through cathodal tDCS on the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
Abstract We solve problems by applying previously learned rules. The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) plays a pivotal role in automating this process of rule induction. Despite its usual efficiency, this process fails when we encounter new problems in which past experience leads to a mental ru...
