# Nomenclature

**Standardized terms are formatted in `code format`**

* **`DBS Network Mapping`**
  * Brief description:
    * Seeding from `DBS stimulation volumes` using either functional or structural, either normative or patient-specific connectomes, we derive a 
      * `Connectivity Fingerprint`
        * Synonym: `Connectivity Profile`
    * Across a group of patients, the Connectivity Fingerprints are correlated in voxel-wise fashion to derive an `R-map model`
  * Synonym: Connectivity Benefit Mapping

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://netstim.gitbook.io/netstim-lab-manual/nomenclature.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
