Abstract
This research demonstrates how high-frequency magnetic stimulation can suppress epileptiform activity in the mouse hippocampus slices by using a magnetic field generator and a magnetic coil. We overall found that the inhibition effect was seen as dependent on the frequency and duration of the magnetic stimulus. It was also found that high frequency plays a significant role as well. Through this research, the lab now has a platform for further investigation of cellular and molecular mechanisms of the magnetic field.
