Here, we address this issue by applying repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to the left DLPFC and evaluating its effect on brain activity and the latency of MI response. This is a randomized, sham-controlled EEG study. Participants were randomly assigned to receive sham (15 subjects) or real high-frequency rTMS (15 subjects). We performed EEG sensor-level, source-level, and connectivity analyses to evaluate the rTMS effects. We revealed that excitatory stimulation of the left DLPFC increases theta-band power in the right precuneus (PrecuneusR) via the functional connectivity between them. The precuneus theta-band power negatively correlates with the latency of the MI response, so the rTMS speeds up the responses in 50% of participants. We suppose that posterior theta-band power reflects attention modulation of sensory processing; therefore, high power may indicate attentive processing and cause faster responses.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23104661","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,12]],"date-time":"2023-05-12T01:30:29Z","timestamp":1683855029000},"page":"4661","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation of the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex Increases Posterior Theta Rhythm and Reduces Latency of Motor Imagery"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3438-5717","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Semen","family":"Kurkin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Baltic Center for Neurotechnology and Artificial Intelligence, Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, 236016 Kaliningrad, Russia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7687-3065","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Susanna","family":"Gordleeva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurodynamics and Cognitive Technology Laboratory, Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod, 603105 Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5499-1511","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrey","family":"Savosenkov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baltic Center for Neurotechnology and Artificial Intelligence, Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, 236016 Kaliningrad, Russia"},{"name":"Neurodynamics and Cognitive Technology Laboratory, Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod, 603105 Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia"}]},{"given":"Nikita","family":"Grigorev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baltic Center for Neurotechnology and Artificial Intelligence, Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, 236016 Kaliningrad, Russia"},{"name":"Neurodynamics and Cognitive Technology Laboratory, Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod, 603105 Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia"}]},{"given":"Nikita","family":"Smirnov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baltic Center for Neurotechnology and Artificial Intelligence, Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, 236016 Kaliningrad, Russia"}]},{"given":"Vadim V.","family":"Grubov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baltic Center for Neurotechnology and Artificial Intelligence, Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, 236016 Kaliningrad, Russia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7050-6969","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Udoratina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurodynamics and Cognitive Technology Laboratory, Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod, 603105 Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4632-6896","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vladimir","family":"Maksimenko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baltic Center for Neurotechnology and Artificial Intelligence, Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, 236016 Kaliningrad, Russia"},{"name":"Neurodynamics and Cognitive Technology Laboratory, Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod, 603105 Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia"}]},{"given":"Victor","family":"Kazantsev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurodynamics and Cognitive Technology Laboratory, Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod, 603105 Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2787-2530","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexander E.","family":"Hramov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baltic Center for Neurotechnology and Artificial Intelligence, Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, 236016 Kaliningrad, Russia"},{"name":"Neurodynamics and Cognitive Technology Laboratory, Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod, 603105 Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"45","DOI":"10.1016\/0166-4328(95)00225-1","article-title":"The neurophysiological basis of motor imagery","volume":"77","author":"Decety","year":"1996","journal-title":"Behav.
