Temporal interference (TI) electric field brain stimulation is a novel neuromodulation technique that enables the non-invasive modulation of deep brain regions, but few advances about TI stimulation effectiveness and mechanisms have been reported. Conventional transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) can enhance motor skills, whether TI stimulation has an effect on motor skills in mice has not been elucidated. In the present study, TI stimulation was proved to stimulating noninvasively primary motor cortex (M1) of mice, and that TI stimulation with an envelope wave frequency of 20 Hz (Δ f = 20 Hz) once a day for 20 min for 7 consecutive days significantly improved the motor skills of mice. The mechanism of action may be related to regulating of neurotransmitter metabolism, increasing the expression of synapse-related proteins, promoting neurotransmitter release, increasing dendritic spine density, enhancing the number of synaptic vesicles and the thickness of postsynaptic dense material, and ultimately enhance neuronal excitability and plasticity. It is the first report about TI stimulation promoting motor skills of mice and describing its mechanisms.
