Abstract
Modification of a new method for detecting changes in the activities of neuronal population and the nearest neuron is described. Preliminary measurements of the influence of a static magnetic field (2 mT) on neuronal population activity on eight individuals of an endangered insect species Morimus funereus are included. Five minutes exposure produced both excitatory (5/8) and inhibitory (3/8) effect on the activity of neuronal population of M. funereus antennal lobe. However, when the reversibility of induced effects was quantitatively analyzed, our results showed that they were prevailingly irreversible: (7/8) for the population, (6/8) for the nearest neuron.
