VNS is a form of stimulation whereby electricity is applied to the vagus nerve to modulate the central nervous system. The Vagus nerve is the 10 th cranial nerve, which runs from the brainstem, through the neck, down to the abdomen. Like DBS, VNS is done by surgically implanting a neurostimulator in the chest, while running a wire around the left vagus nerve. (Efferent heart fibers exist on the right.)

Tutti is an Italian word literally meaning all or together and is used as a musical term, for the whole orchestra as opposed to the soloist. It is applied similarly to choral music, where the whole section or choir is called to sing. Music examination boards may instruct candidates to play in tuttis, indicating that the candidate should play both the solo and the tutti sections.
