Table 1. Summary of magnetic stimulation response in both neuronal 2D cultures and anesthetized rats.
2D culture (N = 30) | Rat (N = 9) | |||
Responded to stimulation | Electric Threshold (Normalized to maximum inducible field) | Responded to stimulation | Electric Threshold (Normalized to maximum inducible field) | |
Cross coil | 50% | 90±10% | 89% | 70±10% |
Single coil | 13% | 120*±20% | 44% | 90±10% |
All distribution errors are standard error (SE). % denotes fraction of the maximum attained rotating electric field.
When using only our home made stimulator as the single coil we can induce non-rotating electric fields that are up to 2 times stronger than the maximum rotating electric field.
