The question of whether terahertz (THz) waves can interact with ions in channels nerve cells and cause a further reaction has attracted much attention. To answer this question, we investigate the spontaneous radiation generated by Ca2+ moving calcium effect THz on transport solving mathematical physical model through Brownian dynamics (BD) simulations. It is obtained that channel generate electromagnetic radiation, corresponding spectrum which concentrated range. Meanwhile, both ion number background temperature are proved to have significant effects emission spectra. studies also show external accelerate channel. These results expected provide theoretical basis for future treatment neurological field.
