A) stereotaxic plotting (STP)
B) transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)
C) electrical stimulation of the brain (ESB)

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
A procedure that doesn't penetrate the skin, employing magnetic fields to activate brain nerve cells to enhance depressive symptoms.
Stereotaxic Plotting
A technique used in neuroscience to precisely position tools within specific areas of the brain using a three-dimensional coordinate system.
Lesioning
a research method involving the deliberate damage or removal of tissue in the brain to study behavioral changes or the function of a particular area.
