Abstract

Several experimental results published in the literature showed that weak pulsed magnetic fields affected the response of the central nervous system. However, the specific biological mechanisms that regulate the observed behaviors are still unclear and further scientific investigation is required. In this work we performed simulations on neuronal models exposed to a specific pulsed magnetic field signal that seems to be very effective in modulating the brain activity: the Complex neuroelectromagnetic pulse (Cnp). Results show that Cnp can silence the neurons of a feed-forward network for signal intensities that depend on the strength of the bias current and the endogenous noise level.
