Article Abstract:
It has been hypothesized that pulsed magnetic fields used on selective parts of the human brain can actually reduce depression or affect motor control. Unlike electro-shock therapy, magnetic pulses of a precise frequency, shape and amplitude can theoretically be used to induce current in and therefore trigger a desired cluster of nerve fibers in a desired part of the body. Thus, pulsed magnetic fields can be used to trigger sensory nerves, block pain by inhibiting sensory nerves in specific areas or improve muscular strength and coordination.

Life inside out
Article Abstract:
Chemical additives or agitation can invert the dense emulsion of oil in water, as in a collection of living cells, into a diluted form of water in oil. The resultant would persist living healthily. The technique applied to cultured tissue through a spray of heavy water will invert it. Dosing the inverted tissue with plasmids results in their free diffusion through the multi-nucleate mass. Inverting the tissue back will cause some cells to enclose two or more nuclei or other organelles and others to contain none.

Phones and the brain
Article Abstract:
Issues are presented concerning the concerns which have been expressed over the sensitivity of the brain to the microwaves produced by antennae of mobile phones. The action of microwaves on the brian is discussed.
