Highly focused magnetic pulses of up to 1.5 teslas induce an electrical current two to three centimeters deep in the left prefrontal section of the cerebral cortex.

«The fact that we can induce a short seizure, of approximately 1 to 3 minutes long, with the exact timing of an electrical pulse, and that these worms react well to antiepileptic drugs, makes this new assay a perfect model for high - speed drug screens in multi-welled plate readers,» said Ken Dawson - Scully, Ph.D., corresponding author and associate professor in the Department of Biological Sciences and associate director of the FAU Brain Institute.

By observing these natural stimuli, professor Holtmaat's team was able to demonstrate that sensory stimulus alone can generate long - term synaptic strengthening without the neuron discharging either an induced or natural electrical pulse.

PEMF uses electrical energy to direct a series of magnetic pulses through injured tissue, and each magnetic pulse induces a tiny electrical signal that stimulates cellular repair by upregulating a tissue repair protein called «heat shock protein» and also by increasing the uptake of oxygen and nutrients into tissue.

In the case of bone healing, PEMF uses electrical energy to direct a series of magnetic pulses through injured tissue whereby each magnetic pulse induces a tiny electrical signal that stimulates cellular repair.
