Abstract

A model of magnetic shielding of the brain and spinal cord in the vertebrates has been suggested. Endogenous magnetic field in this model is formed at the expense of directed transposition of charged blood erythrocytes in the circular venous collectors involving various compartments of the central nervous system. Detected changes in the levels of corticosteroids, erythrocyte count, blood viscosity, hematocrit, and clotting system during exposure to a magnetic field indicate that magnetic shielding is part of the defense and adaptive reaction complex.
