A Phase-Locking Analysis of Neuronal Firing Rhythms with Transcranial Magneto-Acoustical Stimulation Based on the Hodgkin-Huxley Neuron Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Transcranial magneto-acoustical stimulation (TMAS) uses ultrasonic waves and a static magnetic field to generate electric current in nerve tissues for the purpose of modulating neuronal activities. It has the advantage of high spatial resolution and penetration depth. Neuronal firing rhythms carry and transmit nerve information in neural systems. In this study, we investigated the phase-locking characteristics of neuronal firing rhythms with TMAS based on the Hodgkin-Huxley neuron model. The simulation results indicate that the modulation frequency of ultrasound can affect the phase-locking behaviors. The results of this study may help us to explain the potential firing mechanism of TMAS.

Theoretical Analysis of Transcranial Magneto-Acoustical Stimulation with Hodgkin-Huxley Neuron Model
Transcranial magneto-acoustical stimulation (TMAS) is a novel stimulation technology in which an ultrasonic wave within a magnetostatic field generates an electric current in an area of interest in the brain to modulate neuronal activities. As a key part of the neural network, neurons transmit information in the nervous system. However, the effect of TMAS on the neuronal firing pattern remains ...

Memory resistor or memristor is already fabricated successfully using current nano dimension technology. Based on its unique hysteresis, the amount of resistance remains constant over time, controlled by the time, the amplitude, and the polarity of the applied voltage. The unique hysteretic current-voltage characteristic in the memristor causes this element to act as a non-volatile resistive me...

We study the response of the Hodgkin-Huxley neuron stimulated periodically by biphasic rectangular current pulses. The optimal response for charge-balanced input is obtained for cathodic-first pulses with an inter-phase gap (IPG) approximately equal 5ms. For short pulses the topology of the global bifurcation diagram in the period-amplitude plane is approximately invariant with respect to the p...

In several neurological diseases, like essential tremor, the functions of the brain are severely impaired by synchronized processes, in which the neurons fire in a synchronized periodical manner at a frequency closely related to that of the tremor. Stimulation techniques have been developed to desynchronize these neuronal populations. One such technique is the electrical Deep Brain Stimulation ...
