  • Patent number: 4221062
    Abstract: Device for simulating passage of neurochemical transmitters from a presynaptic neuron across a synaptic cleft to a postsynaptic neuron and simulating the effect of an antidepressant drug, comprising a pair of elongated non-magnetizable members each having a bulbous end portion, each end portion having a substantially flat face, means exerting a magnetic field in each bulbous end portion, the means being so oriented that the magnetic fields oppose one another when the flat faces are brought into approaching relation, one of the magnetic fields being stronger than the other at the flat face, and a flat magnetizable disc. When the magnetizable disc is held on the flat face having the weaker magnetic field, and the flat faces are brought into approaching face-to-face relation, the disc is attracted by the stronger magnetic field and traverses the gap between the faces, clinging to the face having the stronger magnetic field.
