Modulating Emotional Experience Using Electrical Stimulation of the Medial‐Prefrontal Cortex: A Preliminary tDCS‐fMRI Study

Implicit regulation of emotions involves medial‐prefrontal cortex (mPFC) regions exerting regulatory control over limbic structures. Diminished regulation relates to aberrant mPFC functionality and psychopathology. Establishing means of modulating mPFC functionality could benefit research on emotion and its dysregulation. Here, we tested the capacity of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) targeting mPFC to modulate subjective emotional states by facilitating implicit emotion regulation.
