Study Details

This study was designed to investigate the transient and cumulative impairments in spatial and non-spatial memory of C57Bl/6J mice exposed to GSM 1.8 GHz signal for 90 min daily by a typical cellular (mobile) phone at a specific absorption rate value of 0.11 W/kg.

Free-moving male mice 2 months old were irradiated in two experimental protocols, lasting for 66 and...

One-way analysis of variance revealed statistically significant impairments of both types of memory ...

The overall contribution of several possible mechanisms to the observed cumulative and transient impairments in spatial and non-spatial memory is discussed.
