Influence of a Constant Magnetic Field on Nervous Tissues: I. Nerve Conduction Velocity Studies
Jean-Louis Schwartz · 1978
A 1.2 T magnetic field had no significant effect on nerve conduction velocity in lobster nerves, whether parallel or perpendicular to the field.
Plain English Summary
Researchers studied the circumesophageal connective of the lobster to investigate the influence of a constant magnetic field on nerve impulse conduction velocity. They found no significant effect of a 1.2 T magnetic field on conduction velocity in either parallel or perpendicular configurations.
Finding
They show that there is no significant effect of a 1.2 T magnetic field upon conduction velocity of the isolated nerve of the lobster, in either parallel or perpendicular configurations with respect to the field.
In their words
“They show that there is no significant effect of a 1.2 T magnetic field upon conduction velocity of the isolated nerve of the lobster, in either parallel or perpendicular configurations with respect to the field.”
