Abstract

The effect of a permanent magnetic field on evoked potentials in the cerebral and cerebellar cortex arising in response to sciatic nerve stimulation was investigated in experiments on rats. During exposure to a permanent magnetic field an increase in amplitude of the evoked potential was found and additional waves appeared in its structure. The effect increased with an increase in field intensity over the range 500–4000 Oe.
