It is important to investigate the effects of moderate intensity static magnetic
field on the bioelectric activity of neurons, since this field is present in the environment.
Equally important is to reveal the mechanism of action of moderate intensity static
magnetic field on biophysical properties of neuronal membranes, as this field has been
applied in disease treatment, whereby proper dosages of exposure still need to be
determined.
Comparative intracellular registration studies showed that short term exposure
(15 min) to the moderate intensity static magnetic field of 2,7 mT and 10 mT strength
changed bioelectric activity of the spontaneously active Br neuron, while bioelectric
activity of silent N1 neuron remained unchanged. The 2,7 mT magnetic field increased
amplitude and decreased duration of action potential, whereas the 10 mT magnetic field
hyperpolarized membrane potential, increased amplitude, decreased firing frequency
and duration of action potential of the Br neuron. The magnitude of change of measured
bioelectric parameters depended on the strength of applied magnetic field, and was still
observed during the period of 20 min after exposure of Br neuron to the 2,7 mT and 10
mT magnetic field.
Combined experiments, using biochemical analysis and NMR spectroscopy on
whole snail brains and intracellular registration on Br neuron, showed that short-term
exposure (15 min) to the 10 mT magnetic field increased activity of Na+/K+ pump.
Increased Na+/K+ pump activity in the snail brain caused an increase in ATP
consumption and increase in the pHi which is mediated through an increase in the
activity of Na+/H+ exchanger, a pH regulatory system governed by the gradient of Na+
ions created and maintained by Na+/K+ pump. Electrophysiology from Br neuron is in
agreement with the results obtained on the whole snail brain. Magnitude of ouabain
effect measured on the membrane resting potential, action potential and interspike
interval duration, was higher in Br neurons exposed to the magnetic field, demonstrating
that Na+/K+ pump plays an important role in modulation of bioelectric activity of Br
neuron caused by 10 mT magnetic field. Pathways through which the magnetic field
influenced the Na+/K+ pump activity involve phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, as
blocking these processes abolished the effect of the static magnetic field.
