Abstrakt: The continuously changing magnetic field of the Earth and its constant influence on the vital activity of all living organisms makes studies of magnetobiological effects important and in demand. The effects of weak magnetic fields, especially weak static magnetic fields, on living objects remains inappropriately understudied. The biological effects of weak magnetic fields result from chemical processes involving radicals, radical ions, and paramagnetic particles. As attenuation of the magnetic field is a stress factor for the body and given that the nervous system performs the most important regulatory functions in forming the body's stress response, this review addresses the influences of weak static magnetic fields on the functioning of the nervous system. Our own and published data are summarized; these indicate that weak static magnetic fields affect key biological processes, such as gene expression, cell proliferation and differentiation, and apoptosis, as well as behavior. Special attention is paid to the therapeutic potential of weak magnetic fields for clinical use in neurological pathologies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
