Electron spin resonance signals in injured nerve.
Under certain conditions nerves (such as the frog sciatic) exhibit electron spin resonance signals with several unusual properties: (i) variable g value and linewidth, (ii) anisotropic g tensor, and (iii) g value dependence on temperature. Such a signal must be due to a small ferromagnetic crystal formed when the nerve is subjected to pressure, such as that due to mechanical injury.
