The study enrolled 20 children aged 2 to 13 with a confirmed ASD diagnosis. They received ELF-EMF treatments using the SEQEX device over a 15-week protocol with day and night programs. Receptive language scores on the PPVT-4 improved from 74.07 to 90.40 (p=0.002) and expressive language scores on the EOWPVT-4 improved from 84.17 to 90.50 (p=0.041). Externalizing problems decreased significantly in both the 1.5–5 year group (p=0.028) and the 6–18 year group (p=0.027).

Researchers exposed rats to 50 Hz ELF-EMF at 1 and 7 mT for 1 hour per day over 7 days, repeated the procedure three times, and measured adrenaline, noradrenaline, MHPG, and β2-adrenergic receptor expression. After each exposure, some rats underwent a behavioural test to assess stress response to subsequent stress factors. ELF-EMF at 1 mT induced adaptive changes in the noradrenergic locus coeruleus system. Exposure to 7 mT increased stress system activity, causing sensitization to a different stress factor, profoundly decreased β2-adrenergic receptor levels, and moderately increased anxiety-related behaviour.

Researchers isolated neural stem cells from the telencephalic wall of B6(Cg)-Tyrc-2J/J mouse embryos and divided them into three experimental groups and three controls. Each experimental group was exposed to 50Hz ELF-EMFs of varied strengths for 1 h. High-strength ELF-EMF significantly increased GFAP expression while low-strength ELF-EMF decreased it. High-strength ELF-EMF significantly increased β-3 tubulin immunoreactivity, while medium- and low-strength ELF-EMF decreased it. Medium-strength ELF-EMF significantly upregulated NES expression.

Researchers investigated the permeability, fine structure, and protein expression of tight junctions in the blood-brain barrier of rats exposed to electromagnetic pulses. They used fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled dextran of different molecular masses to measure tracer leakage under varying field intensities. Transmission electron microscopy revealed open tight junctions in endothelial cells of exposed rats compared to sham-irradiated controls. Western blot analysis showed no change in levels of ZO-1, claudin-5, or occludin proteins.

Researchers analyzed structural neuronal plasticity in the brain of Cataglyphis desert ants following sky-compass calibration under permanently manipulated magnetic field conditions. Magnetic field information was integrated into the ants' central complex and mushroom bodies. Behavioral analyses showed ants use magnetic information as both a navigational compass and a reference for visual compass calibration.

Researchers stimulated SH-SY5Y neuronal cells with hydrogen peroxide or amyloid-β peptide and activated N9 microglial cells with lipopolysaccharide or amyloid-β peptide. Cells were exposed to pulsed electromagnetic fields with a pulse duration of 1.3 ms and a frequency of 75 Hz. The fields defended SH-SY5Y cells against oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, and cell death induced by amyloid-β or hydrogen peroxide. In microglia activated by lipopolysaccharide or amyloid-β, the fields reverted the reduction in mitochondrial potential, oxidative damage, and cell death.

Researchers examined RF-EMR effects on zebrafish embryos exposed during the 4-58 hours post-fertilization phase. Temporary neuroanatomical enlargements and minor behavioral shifts were observed, diminishing by day 8 post-fertilization. Short-term RF-EMR exposure at tested levels did not yield significant long-term effects.

Researchers exposed zebrafish embryos to unmodulated 700 MHz and 3500 MHz radiofrequency radiation for 1 and 4 hours during the blastula period and assessed outcomes up to 120 hours post fertilization. The exposure did not affect mortality, hatching, or body length, but caused specific organ morphological changes and lasting behavioral alterations in activity, anxiety-like behavior, and habituation. Effects were stronger at 700 MHz, particularly after 4 hours of exposure, and acetylcholinesterase activity was reduced.

Researchers exposed mice to 90 kHz electromagnetic fields from a WPT biosafety experimental platform for 2, 4, or 8 weeks. They tested learning and memory using the Novel Object Recognition test and measured neuronal excitability with whole-cell patch-clamp recordings. Long-term exposure accelerated action potential release, inhibited potassium channel activation, and increased dentate gyrus neuron excitability, but did not significantly affect cognitive function.

Researchers exposed twelve pregnant rats and their male newborns to Wi-Fi frequencies at electric field values of 0.6, 1.9, 5, 10, and 15 V/m during gestation and 45 days after birth. Auditory brainstem response testing was performed before exposure and sacrification. Cochlear histopathological examination used immunohistochemistry for caspase-3, caspase-9, and TUNEL staining. Auditory thresholds increased significantly at 5 V/m and above, while apoptotic cell markers showed significant differences at 10 V/m and 15 V/m. All apoptotic indicators increased with electric field magnitude, with caspase-9 showing the strongest effect.

Researchers investigated the effects of 4.9 GHz radiofrequency field on emotional behaviors and spatial memory in adult male mice. They used open field test, tail suspension test, and Y maze to assess anxiety, depression-like behavior, and spatial memory. Anxiety-like behavior and spatial memory did not change after exposure, but depression-like behavior was induced. Neuron number decreased and pyroptosis increased in the amygdala but not the hippocampus.

Female rats were exposed to MWR at a frequency of 2.45 GHz for 2 hours daily throughout pregnancy. The study examined the rostral migratory stream and the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus for cell proliferation and death, and also assessed nitrergic neuron differentiation in the RMS. Prenatal MWR exposure caused significant changes in the numbers of proliferating and dying cells that varied by offspring age and brain region. MWR attenuated the maturation of nitrergic neurons in the RMS in both juvenile and adult rats. Morphological alterations in neurogenesis were accompanied by changes in animal behavior.

The study aimed to evaluate RF-EMF exposure at three time intervals and three distances from BTS antennas in Sabzevar, Iran. Electric field averages and maximum averages differed significantly across time periods, distances of 50, 100, and 300 meters, and between suburban and downtown antenna locations. No significant differences in electric field levels were found across different microenvironments. Residents near BTS antennas reported poor sleep quality, with significantly worse sleep for those living within 100 meters compared to those beyond 300 meters. All measured electric field levels were below safety limits set by Iranian and international standards, indicating no potential risk in the study area.

The magnetic compass sense of migratory songbirds is thought to derive from magnetically sensitive photochemical reactions in cryptochromes located in photoreceptor cells in the birds’ retinas. Spin dynamics simulations indicate that birds may orient in a monochromatic radiofrequency field without the Earth’s magnetic field.

Researchers evaluated associations between solar and geomagnetic activity and cognitive function in the Normative Aging Study from 1992 to 2013. They used logistic and linear generalized estimating equations to assess moving averages of sunspot number and Kp index in relation to MMSE scores and six other cognitive tests combined into a global composite score. A one-IQR increase in same-day SSN and Kp index was associated with 17% and 19% higher odds of a low MMSE score, while global cognitive score increased slightly with SSN but backwards digit span decreased.

Researchers conducted a randomized, triple-blind, crossover study with 44 healthy young volunteers exposed to 3.5 GHz signals at 1 to 2 V/m. Each session included baseline, exposure, and postexposure phases with seven runs of electrodermal activity recordings stimulated by beeps and skin temperature measurements at the hand, head, and neck. The study suggests a slight increase in head and neck temperature and minimal modulation of electrodermal metrics after exposure, though results remain within normal physiological range and could reflect an uncontrolled variable.

Twenty-four male Balb/c mice were divided into four groups and the EMF groups were exposed to 2100-MHz EMF for 120 minutes per day over 30 days. After 30 days EMF exposure significantly reduced astrocyte diameter and increased GFAP expression in the cerebellar cortex. Crocin treatment improved astrocyte diameter and normalized GFAP expression.

Previous research found increased wakefulness in mice after prolonged exposure to 2.4 GHz electromagnetic radiation with 100 Hz square-pulsed modulation at 1/8 duty cycle. The current study addresses whether modulation frequency, pulse edge sharpness, carrier frequency, and duty cycle matter for sleep and wakefulness alteration.
