Optical rotation signal of nerve and the Faraday effect

A Watanabe. Jpn J Physiol. 1993.

Abstract

The polarity of the optical rotation signal, recorded from the lobster nerve, was reversed when the direction of incident light was changed by 180 degrees. This is a property of the Faraday rotation, but the magnetic field by the action current was too small to explain the size of the observed signal.
