Neurostimulation : Purposeful modulation of nervous system activity using electromagnetic approaches to Neuromodulation Neuromodulation : Alteration of nerve activity by targeted delivery of electrical/chemical stimulus to specific neurological sites in order to normalize or modulate the function of nervous tissue (International Neuromodulation Society).   *tDCS has a unique MoA: Polarises neuron instead of stimulationg it unlike others; thereby altering the likelihood of neuronal firing. + ECT and MST are convulsive, rest are subconvulsive.
