Behavioral in-effectiveness of high frequency electromagnetic field in mice.

View Original AbstractMice showed no anxiety or depression-like behaviors after 120 days of 2.45 GHz exposure, though real-world relevance remains unclear.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed mice to 2.45 GHz radiofrequency radiation (the same frequency used by WiFi and Bluetooth) for up to 120 days to see if it would cause anxiety, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, or depression-like symptoms. The study found no behavioral changes in the mice across multiple standard tests, even after four months of daily exposure. This suggests that chronic exposure to this common wireless frequency may not directly affect mood or anxiety-related behaviors.
Study Details
The present investigation was carried out with an objective to study the influence of high frequency electromagnetic field (HF-EMF) on anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and depression-like behavior.
For exposure to HF-EMF, non-magnetic material was used to fabricate the housing. Mice were exposed t...
The present experiment demonstrates that up to 120 days of exposure to HF-EMF does not produce anxiety, OCD and depression-like behavior in mice.
