Lee et al. study the impact of oscillatory electric fields on neuronal activity across different cell types, brain regions, and species. Electric fields strongly entrain both cellular subthreshold responses and spike timing and phase, with entrainment properties being stimulation frequency and cell class specific across areas.

Highlights•Neurons show robust entrainment to sinusoidal electric fields•Subthreshold entrainment polarizes the cell membrane across cell classes•Spike-field entrainment is cell class specific and depends on stimulation frequency•Field entrainment is seen across neurons in different brain regions and speciesSummaryElectric fields affect the activity of neurons and brain circuits, yet how this happens at the cellular level remains enigmatic.
