AB  - The tendency to claim more knowledge than one actually has is common and well 
      documented; however, little research has focused on the neural mechanisms that 
      underlie this phenomenon. The goal of the present study was to investigate the 
      cortical correlates of overclaiming. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was 
      delivered to the medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC), supplementary motor area, and 
      precuneus during the presentation of a series of words that participants were 
      told made up a cultural IQ test. However, participants were not informed that 50% 
      of the words were actually fabricated. False claiming was reduced following MPFC 
      TMS. Furthermore, reaction time decreases following MPFC TMS indicated that 
      participants engaged in less reflection during the task, suggesting a potential 
      reduction in social monitoring of behavior.
