Abstract

In previous works we have developed a theoretical model simulating a nonthermal interaction mechanism suitable to justify possible electromagnetic wave effects at cellular membrane level. The model has been used to analyze the effects of the injection of an ELF sinusoidal current on the firing rate of pacemaker neurons. The analysis is useful also to study the effects of amplitude-modulated RF and microwave fields in view of possible, although not proven, detection effects. We now extend the theoretical analysis scanning the frequency and the amplitude of the sinusoidal exciting current and determining the effects on the spontaneous firing frequency. Finally, we perform a serie of experiments on snail neuronal cells carrying out a comparison between theoretical and experimental results.
