Regulating neuronal excitation or inhibition via magnetic field coupling

" The ion exchange in neurons can trigger time-varying magnetic fields that interact with each other. In this work, the regulation of neuronal excitation and inhibition by coupling magnetic field is investigated. Firstly, models of magnetic field coupling under different conditions are proposed. The effect of the magnetic field is described by magnetic flux. And then, the excitation or inhibition magnetic field coupling is studied under different external excitation currents. The firing mode of neurons can be changed by adjusting the coupling intensity. In brief, we found that the magnetic field coupling can regulate the excitation and inhibition of neurons, and the excitation magnetic field coupling can promote the firing of neurons. When the inhibition magnetic field coupling is large enough, the neuronal firing mode is static. Magnetic field coupling can be considered as a way to modulate the neuronal excitation."

" The membrane potential of a neuron is the difference in the concentration of charged ions inside and outside the membrane. When a neuron transmits information, charged ions move in and out of the cell membrane to generate an action potential. According to the Maxwell electromagnetic induction theorem, the movement of charged ions can trigger time-varying electromagnetic fields. The impact of magnetic fields on information transmission to neurons can help us better understand and explore life’s mysteries."
