Subsequently, the calcium signal of mouse prefrontal cortex nerve clusters under TMAES was recorded in real time using fiber photometric detection technology to reveal the calcium-dependent neural information transmission mechanism under TMAES. The simulation results show that different magnetic field strength and ultrasonic power intensity of TMAES have bidirectional adjustment effects on the size of the postsynaptic response. Among them, short-term enhancement and inhibition of synaptic transmission is due to vesicle release and vesicle depletion caused by changes in intracellular calcium concentration under TMAES. The experimental results show that TMAES has a significant regulatory effect on the amplitude and frequency of calcium signaling in the prefrontal cortex neuronal cluster, and TMAES can affect the information transmission between synapses by regulating the calcium concentration of nerves.
