Brief Summary  
As more accurate neuromodulation systems combining high-resolution EEG and anatomical biomarkers develop, it is prudent to evaluate how refined and effective precision neuromodulation is as compared to conventional techniques. Young onset mania provides an ideal challenge for such a comparison considering its poorer prognosis and pharmacological refractoriness. This study aims to be the first to directly compare precision and conventional neuromodulation in child and adolescent populations. It also seeks to study and compare, for the first time, changes in neuroimaging parameters caused due to precision and conventional techniques. By correlating perturbation-induced changes in cortical inhibition paradigms and functional connectivity of cerebral circuits, we aim to introduce a more objective measure of therapeutic efficacy and response, as opposed to relying solely on subjective clinical scales. Furthermore, we aim to study for the first time, task-based differential activation of brain areas in young onset mania.
