title: Optical rotation signal of nerve and the Faraday effect.
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.
