Generally, when you stimulate or modulate the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, there’s sort of this window into this cortical control circuit. What you see in time is increased blood flow, increased metabolism, and downward sort of top down control of maybe hyperactive or hyper-functioning circuits.
