Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of the transcranial ultrasound stimulation(TUS)on transcranial magneto-acoustic stimulation(TMAS).Methods The healthy mice and Parkinson's disease(PD)mice were contrastively stimulated by TMAS and TUS.A TMAS group,a TUS group and a control group were established,and then the behavior and the electrophysiology results were analyzed and compared in the three groups. Results Both the chronic TMAS treatment and TUS treatment improved the motor ability and learning ability of the healthy mice and the PD mice. In addition, the TMAS-group mice showed better performances than the TUS-group mice and the ones in the control group.Conclusion TMAS has its effects promoted by TUS and mechanism explained in detail,which is actually a combined stimulation of coupling electric field and ultrasonic field.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2018,39(5):17-21,49]
