The aim of this work is to present the current knowledge about the possible participation of electromagnetic fields in the occurrence and also in treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. The literature data indicate both the negative and positive effects of electromagnetic fields and not allow to draw unambiguous conclusions. Undoubtedly, the topic is still open and needs further intensive research to finally assess the mechanism of action of the electromagnetic field on neurodegenerative diseases. Streszczenie. Celem niniejszej pracy jest przedstawienie aktualnej wiedzy o możliwym udziale pól elektromagnetycznych w występowaniu oraz w leczeniu chorób neurodegeneracyjnych. Dane literaturowe wskazują zarówno na negatywny, jak i pozytywny wpływ pól elektromagnetycznych i nie pozwalają na wyciągnięcie jednoznacznych wniosków. Niewątpliwie temat jest nadal otwarty i wymaga dalszych intensywnych badań, aby ostatecznie ocenić mechanizm działania pola elektromagnetycznego na choroby neurodegeneracyjne.

“…This current causes a change in the magnetic field, which results in an induced electric field (electromagnetic induction) that can stimulate the nerves when it reaches the neuron's threshold for firing an action potential, helping and improving neurological symptoms such as depression and Alzheimer's disease [3][4][5]. Despite the widespread use of TMS therapy, it has poor spatial resolution, which makes it challenging to activate selectively the deeper targeted regions of the brain and achieve a focused stimulation [6][7][8][9].…”

The purpose of this paper is to calculate the maximum electric field in the brain tissue surrounding a microcoil. The microcoil is represented as a wire coupled capacitively to the surrounding tissue. For a 1 mA, 3 kHz current in the wire, the value of the electric field intensity in the tissue is approximately 4 mV/m. The intensity of the electric field is proportional to the frequency, the capacitance per unit area, and the square of the wire length. The electric field produced by this coil by electromagnetic induction is in the order of 0.002 mV/m. Therefore, the electric field produced by capacitive coupling is much greater than the electric field produced by induction. Methods to distinguish between capacitive and magnetic stimulation are discussed.
