Effect of WiFi signal exposure in utero and early life on neurodevelopment and behaviors of rats

Prenatal WiFi exposure produced no neurotoxic effects in rats and some findings suggested sex-dependent improvements in learning and memory in males, contradicting expectations of harmful neurodevelopmental impacts.
Plain English Summary
This study examined the long-term effects of WiFi signal exposure from pregnancy through postnatal day 42 on neurodevelopment, behavior, and brain biochemistry in Wistar rats. The results showed no adverse effects on hippocampal neurons, oxidative stress markers, or general neurodevelopment, though prenatal WiFi exposure was associated with increased body weight, improved spatial memory and learning, and behavioral hyperactivity specifically in male offspring.
