  • Abstract
    Before and after magnetic stimulation, the discharge frequency of raphe nuclei in rabbits was recorded. The results show that there is obvious change of the discharge frequency, t<0.01. This presents one of the possible mechanisms of the induction of sleep by time-varying magnetic field
