Sensory transduction of weak electromagnetic fields: Role of glutamate neurotransmission mediated by NMDA receptors

Highlights • Glutamate mediates afferent signaling triggered by electromagnetic fields. • Transduction of fields likely occurs in trigeminal sensory neurons. • Transduction of 60 Hz–1 GHz fields involves neurotransmission via NMDA receptors.
