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 'I need help understanding this quote about recent Natural Selection'

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
