Abstract
After the discovery of galvanism at the end of the 18th century by Galvani and the foundation of electrochemistry by Ritter, since 1796[1] electric magnetic effects on cells, tissues and organisms have been registered leading to the expansion of electrophysiology by Du Bois-Reymond[2] and others during the 19th century[3] parallel to the development of fundamental electrochemistry[4].
