the vagus nerve. Therefore, based on the notion that rTMS aims to transsynaptically stimulate the sgACC, we stimulated various frontal locations while recording electrocardiogram (ECG), to establish the location that most consistently resulted in a heart rate deceleration. To this aim, 10 subjects where tested for 7 sites (3 left-sided, 3 right-sided, and 1 control location (Pz)). Each locations was stimulated 3x in a random order (within one hemisphere) with 5 sec. trains of 10 Hz. Neuro-Cardiac-Guided TMS (NCG TMS)*: probing DLPFC-sgACC
