View Original AbstractThis study found no memory impairment in rats exposed to 2.45 GHz microwaves, contradicting earlier research suggesting WiFi-frequency radiation affects brain function.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed rats to 2.45 GHz microwave radiation (the same frequency used in WiFi routers and microwave ovens) and tested their ability to navigate a maze with limited visual landmarks. The rats showed no impairment in their spatial memory or navigation abilities after the exposure. This study was designed to replicate earlier research that had suggested microwave exposure could affect brain function.
Study Details
The aim of this study is to investigate Whole-body exposure to 2.45GHz electromagnetic fields does not alter 12-arm radial-maze with reduced access to spatial cues in rats.
we attempted another replication using a maze apparatus bordered by 30 cm high opaque walls. Perform...
These results show that microwave exposure as used herein does not alter spatial working memory, whe...
