Effect of constant magnetic field with the induction of 23 mT (non-homogeneity in the object region not higher than 0.5 mT) on the frequency of spontaneous impulse activity, resting potential and input resistance of neurons was studied. Results of studies of 7 silent and 16 spontaneously active neurons were presented as statistically processed data on silent giant neurons of the right pleural ganglion and giant spontaneously active neuron N5 of the right parietal ganglion. A reliable decrease of the frequency of spontaneous impulse activity and an increase of membrane resistance of spontaneously active neuron at magnetic field superposition were shown.
