Abstract

Exposure to rotating and elevated magnetic fields significantly reduced over three hours the ingestivative effects of the opiate agonist, morphine (10 mg/kg), in free-feeding slugs, Limax maximus. Magnetic field exposure also inhibited the opioid-mediated increased ingestive responses of slugs that had been food-deprived for 24 hr. These results suggest that magnetic stimuli opiate-mediated behavioral and physiological functions in invertebrates in a similar manner as observed invertebrates.
