Background
Literature suggests that low frequency magnetic field can affect osteoblast proliferation, differentiation and morphology
(Heermeier et al., Bioelectromagnetics, (1998),19:222-231).
Pulsed electromagnetic fields have been used clinically and are thought to enhance tissue regeneration (Shupak et al., Radio Science Bulletin, (2003), 307:9-34).
Objective
Understand if there is a scientific basis behind the fears concerning the carcinogenicity of 50/60 Hz AC electromagnetic fields, as suggested by some previous studies (Fedrowitz et al., Cancer Res, 62 (2002) 1356-1363; Zhu et al., Am. J. Epidemiol.,
158 (2003) 798-806).

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
Important experimental tool in Neuroscience used in clinically for treatment and diagnosis of neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease
Principle of work in neurons
Strong magnetic pulse produced by a flat coil induces a potential difference across the neurons membrane which triggers the neurons firing Objectives
To extend the first demonstration of in vitro magnetic stimulation of neurons reported recently by Rotem et al. (2008) To understand the physical and biochemical mechanisms involved in vitro
