✦ Synopsis
gradiometer array. The algorithm does not require a specific assumption about the nature of the source and thus allows for the comparison of complex field patterns independent of the configuration of the individual detectors.
A growing interest in the study of small samples was indicated by several papers. In a special lecture, J. Brain (Harvard University, USA) discussed the use of iron oxide particles to monitor phagocytosis, organelle motion, and cytoplasmic viscosity in normal and comprised cells. B. Roth (Vanderbilt University, USA) presented an invited paper on a model for the magnetic field from cylindrical strands (for example, nerve bundles), and skeletal and cardiac muscle. Y. Okada (NYU, USA) presented detailed magnetic and electrical measurements on isolated turtle Conference reports cerebellum. In addition, reports were presented on developing organisms, in vitro hippocampal slices, cells and small animals.
Additional topics included the measurement of remnant magnetic fields to determine the retention, relaxation and clearing of iron particles in the lungs, which was described in an invited talk by T. Takishima (Tohoku University, Japan) and in many contributed papers. Also of interest were papers relating the effects of pulsed magnetic fields on a variety of organic systems.
