Increased accuracy and faster reaction times (RTs) were reported in a lexical-decision task (LDT) up to 2-months post-intervention. The current findings indicate that high-frequency stimulation of the DLPFC might be a potential therapeutic tool to improve lexical processing in mild-DAT.20232024-05-27 12:21:12Članek v reviji158166UDK: 81'234:616.894ISSN pri članku: 1465-3656DOI: 10.1080/13554794.2024.2348222COBISS_ID: 196254723sl
