Autobiographical memory (AM) unfolds over time, but little is known about the dynamics of
its retrieval. Space-based models of memory implicate the hippocampus, retrosplenial
cortex, and precuneus in early memory computations. Here we used transcranial magnetic
stimulation (TMS) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) to investigate the causal role of the
precuneus in the dynamics of AM retrieval. During early memory search and construction,
precuneus stimulation compared to vertex stimulation led to delayed evoked neural activity …
