Researchers exposed mice to cell phone radiation (GSM 1.8 GHz) for 90 minutes daily to test effects on memory. After weeks of exposure, the mice showed significant problems with both spatial memory (remembering locations) and non-spatial memory (recognizing objects). These memory problems persisted for two weeks after radiation stopped but fully recovered after a month, suggesting the brain can repair this type of damage over time.

Researchers exposed gerbils to 50 Hz magnetic fields (the same frequency as power lines) for 7 days after inducing stroke-like brain damage. The magnetic field exposure actually reduced brain cell death in the hippocampus, the brain region most critical for memory formation. This suggests that certain magnetic field exposures might have protective effects on brain tissue after injury.
Rauš S et al. · 2013
Researchers exposed gerbils to 50 Hz magnetic fields (the same frequency as power lines) after inducing stroke-like brain damage to see if EMF exposure affected recovery. They found that animals exposed to magnetic fields at 0.5 mT had significantly less brain cell death and better immune cell responses compared to unexposed animals. This suggests that certain magnetic field exposures might actually protect brain tissue during injury recovery.

Mice exposed to cell phone radiation (1.8 GHz) for 90 minutes daily developed memory problems that worsened over time. Memory impairments persisted two weeks after exposure ended but fully recovered after a month. The radiation level was below current safety limits.
Calabrò E et al. · 2013
Italian researchers exposed human brain cells to 50 Hz magnetic fields (European power frequency) and found exposures above 0.8 milliTesla damaged cellular energy systems and altered protein structures. This demonstrates measurable biological harm from power-frequency magnetic fields at levels found in some occupational environments.

Researchers exposed rats to 50 Hz magnetic fields (the same frequency as power lines) for 10 months to test effects on sperm health, cell death, and oxidative stress. They found no impact on sperm count or quality, and no oxidative damage at either exposure level tested. However, higher exposure (500 μT) did increase markers of programmed cell death in testicular tissue.

Researchers exposed rats to WiFi signals (2.45 GHz) for one hour daily over 21 days and found it created diabetes-like symptoms and damaged the body's natural antioxidant defenses in the liver and kidneys. The WiFi exposure reduced protective enzymes by 33-68% and increased cellular damage markers by up to 51%. When researchers gave the rats olive leaf extract, it prevented the glucose problems and restored most of the antioxidant protection.
Bodera P et al. · 2013
Researchers exposed rats to cell phone radiation at 1800 MHz (the same frequency used by GSM phones) for 15 minutes and measured changes in their blood's antioxidant capacity. They found that this brief exposure significantly reduced the blood's ability to neutralize harmful free radicals, both in healthy rats and those with inflammation. The study also tested interactions with tramadol (a pain medication) and found the radiation effects were amplified when combined with the drug.

Young rats exposed to cell phone radiation (900 MHz) for 28 days showed increased anxiety behaviors in maze tests, avoiding open spaces and showing more stress signs like increased defecation. This suggests cell phone radiation may affect emotional development in young brains.
Pelletier A et al. · 2013
French researchers exposed young rats to cell phone-frequency radiation for five weeks and found disrupted sleep patterns, reduced blood flow to extremities, and increased daytime eating. These changes suggest that chronic radiofrequency exposure can interfere with the body's natural energy regulation systems.

French researchers exposed young rats to cell phone radiation (900 MHz) for five weeks and found disrupted sleep patterns, increased daytime eating, and impaired blood vessel function affecting temperature control. These changes suggest chronic RF exposure interferes with basic biological processes controlling energy use.

Researchers exposed rats to 900 MHz radiofrequency radiation (similar to cell tower frequencies) for 45 days and found it caused oxidative stress in their eyes by reducing protective antioxidant enzymes and increasing harmful compounds. When rats were given vitamin C alongside the radiation exposure, it significantly protected against this eye damage. This suggests that radiofrequency radiation can harm delicate eye tissues through oxidative stress, but antioxidants may offer some protection.
Jelodar G, Akbari A, Nazifi S. · 2013
Researchers exposed rats to 900 MHz radiofrequency radiation (similar to cell phone frequencies) for 45 days and found it caused significant oxidative stress in their eyes, reducing protective antioxidant enzymes and increasing cellular damage markers. When rats were given vitamin C alongside the radiation exposure, the antioxidant damage was largely prevented. This suggests that radiofrequency radiation can harm eye tissues through oxidative stress, but antioxidants may provide some protection.
Manikonda PK et al. · 2013
Researchers exposed young rats to extremely low frequency magnetic fields (the type from power lines and appliances) for 90 days and found significant oxidative stress damage in their brains. The damage was dose-dependent, meaning higher field strengths caused more harm, and affected different brain regions differently. This suggests that chronic exposure to these common magnetic fields may damage brain cells by overwhelming the body's natural antioxidant defenses.

Researchers exposed rats to Wi-Fi radiation for one hour daily over 28 days, finding it caused oxidative damage in throat tissues. Melatonin treatment significantly reduced this cellular damage. The study suggests Wi-Fi exposure may harm respiratory tissues, but antioxidants could provide protection.
Aynali G et al. · 2013
Researchers exposed rats to WiFi radiation (2.45 GHz) for one hour daily over 28 days and found it caused oxidative stress in throat tissue, measured by increased lipid peroxidation (cellular damage from free radicals). When rats were also given melatonin, this protective hormone significantly reduced the WiFi-induced damage and helped restore antioxidant defenses. This suggests WiFi radiation can cause cellular damage through oxidative stress, but natural protective mechanisms may help counteract these effects.

Researchers exposed ant colonies to cell phone-frequency radiation for 180 hours. The ants lost their ability to follow chemical trails, find food, and return to their nests, causing colonies to deteriorate. This shows EMF radiation disrupts navigation systems essential for insect survival.

French researchers exposed lab-grown brain cells to cell phone radiation at 1800 MHz (the frequency used by GSM cell phones) for just 3 minutes. They found that the radiation caused a 30% decrease in the neurons' electrical activity - essentially making the brain cells less active. This effect was reversible, meaning the neurons returned to normal activity levels after the exposure ended.

French researchers exposed lab-grown brain cell networks to cell phone radiation (GSM-1800) for 3 minutes and measured their electrical activity in real time. They found that the radiation caused a 30% decrease in the brain cells' firing rate and bursting patterns - essentially making the neurons less active. The effect was reversible, meaning the cells returned to normal activity after exposure ended.

Researchers exposed young adult and middle-aged gerbils to 50 Hz magnetic fields at three different intensities for seven days, then measured oxidative stress markers in their brains. They found that magnetic field exposure increased oxidative stress in all brain regions tested, with stronger effects at higher field intensities and in older animals. The effects were still detectable three days after exposure ended, particularly in the middle-aged gerbils.

Scientists exposed gerbils to power line frequency magnetic fields for seven days. The exposure increased brain cell damage in all tested regions, with stronger effects in older animals and at higher field strengths. Younger brains recovered better after exposure ended, suggesting age affects vulnerability.

Researchers exposed mice to 900MHz radiofrequency radiation (similar to cell phone signals) for 4 hours daily over 7 days, then subjected them to high-dose gamma radiation. The mice pre-exposed to RF showed significantly less genetic damage from the gamma radiation compared to mice that received only gamma radiation. This suggests that low-level RF exposure may trigger protective cellular responses that help defend against more harmful radiation damage.

Researchers exposed developing quail embryos to cell phone radiation at extremely low power levels (1000 times weaker than typical phone exposure) and found dramatically different effects depending on exposure duration. Short exposure (38 hours) actually stimulated development and reduced DNA damage, while longer exposure (158 hours) stunted development and increased DNA damage. This reveals that EMF effects aren't simply dose-dependent but follow complex biological patterns.
