TMS stimulation of areas such as the OFA, LO or EBA is relatively easy.
However, the fusiform gyrus lays deeper inside the brain, making its reach commonly impossible by TMS. My question is easy:
- Does anyone know a study where stimulating an area of the fusiform gyrus was successfull?
Kind regards,

Dear Gyula,
nice to hear from you again! probably, the following source is also of help as the authors have shown an interesting dissociation of FEATURAL and CONGURAL aspects of faces by stimulating dorsolateral prefrontal areas by TMS:
Renzi, C., Schiavi, S., Carbon, C. C., Vecchi, T., Silvanto, J., & Cattaneo, Z. (2013). Processing of featural and configural aspects of faces is lateralized in dorsolateral prefrontal cortex: A TMS study. Neuroimage, 74, 45-51. doi: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2013.02.015
All the best, hope to see you soon again,
CCC
I do not know any study where stimulating an area of the fusiform gyrus was successfull. It seems though to me a quite promising topic. Thanks
dear claus, congrats! will read. i would however need fusiform stimulation... gy
