Based on his analysis, i is sugges ed ha , al hough

and ha he expec ed dec ease can ac ually supp ess he

II. ANALYSIS
As i is well known, he Lo en z o ce is he o ce exe ed
on a cha ged pa icle mo ing in he p esence o a SMF.
Because his o ce is pe pendicula o bo h he eloci y o
he pa icle and he di ec ion o he SMF, i makes he
pa icle o desc ibe a ci cula ajec o y in a plane
pe pendicula o he SMF. The adius o his ajec o y is
e e ed o as he cyclo on adius o La mo adius, 𝑅𝐿, and
i is gi en by 𝑅𝐿=𝑚𝑣/𝑞𝐵, whe e 𝑚, 𝑣 and 𝑞 a e he mass,
eloci y and cha ge o he pa icle, espec i ely, and 𝐵 is
he ampli ude o he SMF.
The AP p opaga ing h ough he axon o neu ons is
associa ed wi h a longi udinal ion cu en lowing along he
axon. In he p esence o a SMF, due o he Lo en z o ce he
ions lowing along he axon expe ience a de lec ion o hei
ajec o y which p oduces a ans e se cu en . In [13] i is
heo e ically analyzed o he i s ime he o de o
magni ude o he SMF necessa y o p oduce an app eciable
de lec ion in he longi udinal cu en associa ed wi h he
p opaga ion o he AP in he axons o human neu ons. The
calcula ions in [13] show ha a magne ic ield on he o de
o 25T is necessa y o p oduce a de lec ion o educ ion o
10% in he ion cu en along he axon. Such a ield is
se e al o de s o magni ude g ea e han mode a e SMF and
e en an o de o magni ude g ea e han ypical SMF in
MRI sys ems. Mo eo e , in [14] a deepe analysis es ima es
he e ec o his de lec ion in he AP by means o a HH
model whe e a e m ha accoun s o he ans e se cu en
ha appea s as a consequence o he de lec ion is added in
he di e en ial equa ions, his e m being p opo ional o
he alue o he SMF. In [14] i is de ined a a io 𝛼
be ween he ans e se cu en and he longi udinal cu en ,
and i is exp essed as a ela ion be ween he alue o he
SMF, 𝐵, and he ans e se mobili y o he ions, 𝜇, as 𝐵 =
𝛼/𝜇. The calcula ions in [14] show ha , in pa icula , a
mode a e alue o he SMF o 𝐵=11 mT will p oduce a
educ ion o 5% (co esponding o 𝛼=0.05 in [14]) in he
longi udinal cu en in he axon. In [14] i is shown ha
aking his in o accoun in he HH model, his will cause a
supp ession o he AP. This esul en i ely disag ees wi h
he conclusion in [13]. This appa en pa adox can be sol ed
by no ing ha he analysis ca ied ou in [14] assumes an
ion mobili y o 5 m2/Vs, which is h ee o de s o magni ude
la ge han alues expe imen ally epo ed [13]. Fo
example, in [13] he peak axial elec ic ield du ing he
passage o he AP is epo ed o be 𝐸=8 V/m and he ion
eloci y 𝑣𝑑=3.3 × 10−2 m/s. The e o e he ion mobili y is
𝜇 = 𝑣𝑑/𝐸 = 0.004125 m2/Vs. Assuming his much mo e
ealis ic alue o 𝜇, he equi ed SMF o a educ ion o
5% in he longi udinal cu en in [14] will be 14.7 T, which
is close o he o de o magni ude es ima ed in [13] (i.e.,
25 T).
F om he abo e discussion i can be concluded ha
mode a e SMFs canno a ec he p opaga ion o he AP in
human axons. This same conclusion can be also d awn om
a simple al e na i e analysis based on he compa ison o he
La mo adius wi h he diame e o he axons. Conside , o
example, a sodium (Na) ion, whose mass and cha ge a e:
𝑚 = 3.8 × 10−26 kg and 𝑞 = 1.67 ×10−19 C. To es ima e
he La mo adius we can assume an ion eloci y in he
axon o 𝑣𝑑= 3.3 × 10−2 m/s, (i.e., he same alue as in
[13]) and a SMF o alue 𝐵 = 164 mT. This is he alue
measu ed by he au ho s o he same magne used in SMS
in [3], a a dis ance o 2 cm om he su ace o he magne ,
which is he dis ance be ween he scalp and he mo o
co ex. Wi h hose assump ions, he La mo adius is 𝑅𝐿=
𝑚𝑣/𝑞𝐵 =478Å. This is wo o de s o magni ude smalle
han he ypical diame e o he human axon which is 1𝜇𝑚.
The e o e, in he p esence o a mode a e SMF o 164 mT
he ionic cu en is expec ed o low wi hou signi ican
de lec ion h ough he axon. Summing up, i can be
concluded ha due o he di e en o de s o magni ude o
he c oss sec ion o he axon and he La mo adius o
mode a e SMFs, mode a e SMFs canno a ec he anspo
o ions h ough he axon, in acco dance wi h [13].

To unde pin his hypo hesis, we will use he benchma k

III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
In his sec ion a dimensional analysis is ca ied ou o

an es ima ion o he d i eloci y o he ions h ough he

w i en as 𝐽 = 𝑞𝑛𝑣𝑑, whe e 𝑛 is he numbe o ions pe uni

be w i en as 𝑛 = 𝑁/𝑉, whe e 𝑁 is he numbe o ions ha
can occupy simul aneously he channel and 𝑉 is he olume
o he channel, ha can in u n be exp essed as 𝑉 = 𝑆𝐿,
whe e L is he leng h o he channel. The e o e, he d i
eloci y can be exp essed as:
𝑣𝑑=𝐼𝐿
𝑁𝑞.

The K+ channel ex ends 45Å, wi h a wide segmen o

and leng h 12Å whe e he ions would ha e o shed i s

Since he ampli ude o he cu en is o he o de o

he mass o K+ ion is 39.0983 uma = 6.49 ×10−26 kg, he
co esponding La mo adius o a SMF o alue B=164mT
can be calcula ed as: 𝑅𝐿= 𝑚𝑣𝑑/𝑞𝐵 =93Å. This alue is
o he same o de o magni ude as he leng h o he channel,
and wha i is mo e impo an , i is no negligible in

Mo eo e , in [19] i is poin ed ou ha he di e en
