Effect of 8.43 Hz Frequency Magnetic Field on the Single Neuron

Electromagnetic field (EMF) of the GSM cellular telephones affect on the living tissues thermally. In this communication system radiofrequency EMF is modulated by extremely low frequencies (ELF) -8,43 and 217 HZ. On the other hand bulk of investigations proves existence of non thermal effects of the ELF EMF on the biological systems. The current controversy lies on the possibility that the ELF-EMF could produce biological non-thermal effects. We present in vitro experimental data which show that neurons from the brain ganglia of the mollusk HelixPomatia are sensitive to ELF magnetic field of 8.34 Hz in the ranges of 0.2-10 mT.
