この研究は、超低周波磁界（ELF MF：50Hz、2mT）にばく露したクワガタの成虫の触角葉のニューロンの生体電気活性を記録し、分析した。ELF MFの波形は正弦波および矩形波、ばく露時間は5、10、15分間とした。その結果、正弦波では何も影響が見られなかった；矩形波では、10、15分間ばく露で、ニューロン活動の変化が見られた、と報告している。

The effects of exposure of longhorn beetles to a sine wave or square wave 50 Hz magnetic field on the neuronal activity in the antennal lobe (part of the insect brain which receives the input from the olfactory sensory neurons on the antenna) should be investigated.
The longhorn beetle was used as it had already been known to be sensitive to static magnetic fields (see Todorovic et al. 2007) and moreover, because it is particularly relevant as an endangered species in Europe. 22 beetles were divided into the following two groups: 1) exposure to sine waves (n=12), 2) exposure to square waves (n=10). Each beetle was subsequently exposed for 5, 10 and 15 minutes at 40 minutes intervals. The neuronal activity was recorded for 5 minutes directly before and after an exposure session, respectively. The very first record was defined as the sham exposure.

No significant differences were found in the neuronal activity of the antennal lobe between the exposure to a sine wave magnetic field and the sham exposure. For the exposure to the square wave magnetic field, significant but reversible changes were detected after the exposure for 15 minutes compared to the measurement after the exposure for 10 minutes.
The results indicate that exposure of longhorn beetles to a square wave 50 Hz magnetic field could influence the neuronal activity in the antennal lobe.
