Magnetohydrodynamic wave resonance and the evocation of epileptiform activity by millitesla DC magnetic fields

Abstract:
DC magnetic fields of low- to medium-flux density (nTesla to mTesla) affect a variety of brain activities. The cellular mechanism underlying these effects is unknown. A model involving magnetohydrodynamic waves and corresponding resonance phenomena is offered here as a solution. The model is discussed in relation to the evocation of epileptiform activity due to external DC magnetic fields in the mTesla range. The assumed existence of a resonance wave makes it possible to calculate the size of the involved area.
