Researchers exposed rats to electromagnetic pulses and found the brain's protective barrier became more permeable, allowing larger molecules to enter the brain. The study showed this happened in a dose-dependent manner - stronger electromagnetic fields caused more barrier breakdown. This occurred through disruption of tight junction proteins that normally seal the blood-brain barrier, rather than changes in protein levels.

Scientists studied how desert ants use Earth's magnetic field for navigation by manipulating magnetic conditions and examining brain changes. They found that magnetic information is processed in two key brain regions: the central complex (internal compass) and mushroom bodies (learning and memory centers). This reveals that ants use magnetic fields both for navigation and to calibrate their visual compass systems.

Researchers analyzed brain tissue from 203 people in Mexico City and found magnetic nanoparticles accumulating in children's brains, particularly in areas affected by Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. These particles, measuring 7-20 nanometers and containing various metals, can move when exposed to electromagnetic fields as weak as 30-50 microTesla. The study suggests these magnetic particles interfere with brain function and contribute to early-onset neurodegenerative diseases.

Researchers exposed pig uterine tissue to 50 Hz electromagnetic fields (the same frequency as power lines) for 2 hours and found significant changes in DNA methylation, gene regulation, and cellular processes. The electromagnetic exposure altered multiple epigenetic mechanisms that control how genes are turned on and off. These changes could potentially disrupt normal reproductive processes during early pregnancy.

Researchers analyzed DNA methylation patterns and gene expression in three different human cell types to understand how genes are regulated. They found that DNA methylation changes between individuals don't significantly drive gene expression differences, unlike what happens during normal cell development. This suggests DNA methylation plays both passive and active roles in gene regulation depending on the biological context.

Researchers exposed Arabidopsis plants to 30,000 extremely powerful electromagnetic pulses (237 kV/m) delivered through an antenna and measured changes in gene expression. Despite the high intensity, the treatment failed to trigger significant changes in most genes related to cellular stress, calcium signaling, and energy metabolism. Only two antioxidant genes showed modest increases 3 hours after exposure.
