Radio Wave Induced Firing Of Neurons Through Ca2+ Channel Manipulation

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the potential for manipulating calcium (Ca2+) channels in neurons using specific radio wave frequencies, which may induce neuronal firing by altering the internal and external charge differential. Participants express interest in understanding the mechanisms behind this phenomenon and seek academic references, such as textbooks or research papers, to provide context and validate the claims regarding the interaction between electromagnetic energy and neuronal activity. The inquiry highlights a growing interest in the intersection of neuroscience and electromagnetic fields, particularly in how external stimuli can influence neuronal behavior.

TL;DR Summary
Can neurons be induced to fire by manipulating the Ca2+ channels via radio wave electromagnetic energy?
I’ve read that the Ca2+ channels in neurons can be manipulated through the use of certain radio wave frequencies. And the resulting internal/external charge differential will cause the neurons to fire.
Does anyone have any more insight into that?

Can you cite the text book and or paper that states this so pf can read in context?

Thread 'New Alzheimer's Treatment Clears Plaques From Brains of Mice Within Hours'

I've been reading a bunch of articles in this month's Scientific American on Alzheimer's and ran across this article in a web feed that I subscribe to. The SA articles that I've read so far have touched on issues with the blood-brain barrier but this appears to be a novel approach to the problem - fix the exit ramp and the brain clears out the plaques. https://www.sciencealert.com/new-alzheimers-treatment-clears-plaques-from-brains-of-mice-within-hours The original paper: Rapid amyloid-β...
