New cool preprint by @drsandramartin.bsky.social and her colleagues using dual-site TMS over IFG and pre-SMA during semantic and executive control:
Cognition and Plasticity (CoPla) Lab
🧠How do semantic and executive control dissociate in the frontal lobe? Applying TMS to IFG and pre-SMA, we find:
âš¡ Specialization
â–¸ IFG = semantic (and executive) control
â–¸ pre-SMA = executive functions
🔄 Compensation between both regions during single-site disruption!

Semantic control guides the targeted and context-based retrieval from semantic memory. The overlap with and dissociation from domain-general executive control in the frontal lobe remains contentious. ...
