Mechanisms of electromagnetic influences and effects on membrane systems in neurons and cardiomyocytes

Materials and methods Neurons from the isolated central neural system (CNS) of the snail Helix pomatia were selected to serve as a model for our experiments. We applied an electrophysiological technique implying recording of intracellular potentials of a neuron. The presented research work is of fundamental nature and reveals some intimate mechanisms of actions made by electromagnetic radiation (EMR) on the cytoplasm membrane of a neuron and its channels that is applicable to cardiomyocytes. An absolutely exclusive distinctive feature of our work is that the specific BBSS EMR used in our experiments has unique characteristics and offers broadband stochastic radiated frequencies in the range from 10n Hz to 10m Hz at an integral radiation power of only 0,1 μW. Another distinguishing feature of the applied EMR parameters is that the stochastically organized EMR is supplied under such action rhythms, which are close to the natural alpha-, thetaand delta-rhythms of an EEG as well to the natural background base resonance frequency of the Earth, which has been physically measured to be 7,83 Hz, that is evolutionary significant for biological systems.
