The notion that the brainmight respond to magnets and electricity actually goes way back. The EP-MRSI study is an example of burgeoningnew research on an old idea—that the brain is an electromagnetic organ and that brain disorders might result fromdisarray in magnetic function. The idea has huge appeal to psychiatrists and patients alike, since for many people theside effects of psychiatric drugs are almost as difficult to manage as the disease itself. Also, 30 percent of the nearly18.8 million Americans who suffer from depression do not respond to any of the antidepressants available now.What is it about the brain that makes it especially receptive to electromagnetic stimulation? A partial answer canbe found in the neuron, the electrically and chemically excitable nerve cell that receives, processes, and transmitsinformation in the brain. When neurons are activated by magnets or electricity, the nature of their signalschanges—affecting everything from mood to cognition and memory.
