Abstract: We establish a theoretical model of gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) and its suppression effect by electric-magnetic fields. The model is based on the self-organized critical states of cells and gap junction, and we also discuss the information sink, information lock, information channel, which play essential rules in communicative function of the cell membrane and the EM effect. The result can be used to explain the experiment data and the suppression of GJIC by 50 Hz magnetic field.

Key words: SOC, information entropy, information sink, information lock, GJIC, SOC, information entropy, information sink, information lock
