Modulation of TEPs and Local Field Power by single pulse TMS administered to DLPFC. (a) The mean SOUND corrected Local Field Power at DLPFC ROI. LMFA-AUC was calculated by summation of LMFA amplitude from 55 to 275ms after TMS pulse. (b) The mean SOUND corrected N100 peak-to-peak amplitude computed between 55 ms and 275ms after TMS pulse. (c) Butterfly plot of TEPs for all electrodes (green) and electrode F3 (red) with most pronounced TEP components labeled. (d) Schematic of the DLPFC ROI shaded in red.
