Researchers exposed neuroblastoma cancer cells to pulsed magnetic fields at 2 gauss intensity and found the fields could alter cell behavior, causing changes in how cells grew extensions (dendrites) and adhered to surfaces. The magnetic field patterns appeared to influence whether cells remained cancerous or began transforming back toward normal cell behavior.

Researchers exposed rats to 2800 MHz microwave radiation for 90 minutes before testing their ability to learn new sequences of behaviors. At higher power levels (5-10 mW/cm²), the microwaves disrupted the rats' learning ability, causing more errors and slower completion of tasks. This demonstrates that microwave radiation can impair cognitive function even at relatively low exposure levels.

Researchers exposed brain tissue to 147 MHz radiation modulated at 16 Hz and found it caused calcium ions to leak from cells at specific power levels (0.75 mW/cm²). The effect occurred within a narrow "window" of field strength, and the width of this window changed depending on how many tissue samples were tested at once.

Researchers exposed African baboons to extremely high intensity 60 Hz electric fields (up to 60,000 volts per meter) to study behavioral changes. This preliminary Department of Energy study examined both individual performance tasks and social behaviors before, during, and after exposure. The research aimed to develop protocols for a larger investigation into how power line frequency fields affect primate behavior.

Researchers exposed pregnant rats to 2450 MHz microwave radiation (the same frequency used in microwave ovens and some WiFi) to study birth defects. The study found that specific abnormalities only occurred at radiation levels high enough to kill the mother rats, while lower levels still caused reduced fetal body weight and brain mass.

Researchers exposed squirrel monkeys to microwave radiation to determine the minimum energy levels that would alter their natural temperature regulation behaviors. The study found that microwaves can penetrate deeper than infrared radiation and disrupt how animals maintain their body temperature through behavioral responses.

Researchers exposed rats to 2.45 GHz microwave radiation (the same frequency used in microwave ovens and WiFi) at various power levels for 4 hours and measured stress hormone levels. They found a surprising dual effect: low-level exposures actually suppressed the normal rise in corticosterone (stress hormone), while high-level exposures dramatically increased it. This suggests microwave radiation can disrupt the body's natural stress response system in complex ways.

Researchers exposed rats to 2450-MHz microwave radiation for 45 minutes at low power levels (0.6 W/kg) and measured effects on brain neurotransmitter systems. They found that microwave exposure disrupted choline uptake in multiple brain regions, with different effects depending on whether the radiation was continuous or pulsed.

This technical report examined how electric and magnetic fields affect the human central nervous system (CNS), with particular focus on electroacupuncture and electrical stimulation therapy applications. The research explored therapeutic uses of electromagnetic fields, including the LIDA device, which was used in Soviet-era medical treatments.

French researchers examined how radar frequencies (300-30,000 MHz) affect human tissues and biological systems. They found that these high-frequency electromagnetic radiations, typically emitted in pulses for radar detection, produce measurable biological effects in living tissue. The effects depend on the radiation's physical characteristics, penetration depth, power density, and exposure duration.

Researchers exposed African baboons to extremely high-intensity 60 Hz electric fields (up to 60 kV/m) to study effects on both individual performance and social behavior. This preliminary study was designed to develop protocols for a larger investigation into how power line frequency fields affect primate behavior. The research examined baboon behavior before, during, and after exposure to determine if electric fields at these intensities cause measurable behavioral changes.

Soviet researchers investigated whether humans could develop conditioned reflexes to high-frequency electromagnetic fields by measuring vascular responses using plethysmography. This study examined if blood vessel changes could be trained to occur in response to EMF exposure, suggesting the body's circulatory system can detect and respond to electromagnetic field changes. The research represents early evidence that EMF exposure triggers measurable physiological responses in humans.
Stern
This research by Stern examined how microwave radiation at 2450 MHz affects temperature regulation behavior in laboratory rats. The study found that microwave exposure altered how rats naturally respond to temperature changes, suggesting these electromagnetic fields can disrupt biological processes that control body temperature. This matters because it demonstrates microwaves can affect fundamental biological functions beyond just heating tissue.

Turkish researchers exposed rats to WiFi-frequency radiation (2450 MHz) for 12 hours daily across four generations, starting before conception. They found brain hemorrhaging and cellular damage in fetuses and adult females, plus increased stress proteins linked to memory problems in male brains. The damage persisted and potentially worsened across generations.
