Can Theta Burst Electromagnetic Fields Disrupt Learning in Planaria? Evidence of Impaired Fear-Conditioned Responses.

This animal study tested whether low-intensity theta burst patterned electromagnetic fields (TBEMF; 1 μT; bursts at 100 Hz) affect fear-related learning in planaria using a T-maze with aversive light. The light-only group showed behavioral changes consistent with learning to avoid the aversive arm, while TBEMF…

Effect of Repeated Exposure to Complexly Organized Electromagnetic Radiation on the Rat Behavior in the "Open Field" Test

This animal study examined repeated pulsed-modulated RF exposure (1–4 GHz; total pulse power density 300 μW/cm2) in male and female Wistar rats and assessed behavior using the open field test. The abstract reports stress reactions and long-term memory impairment in some rats, with females described as more sensitive…

Electromagnetic field exposure (50 Hz) impairs response to noxious heat in American cockroach.

This animal study examined whether 50 Hz electromagnetic field exposure (7 mT) affects heat-escape behavior and oxidative balance in American cockroaches. The authors report increased latency to escape from noxious heat after 24 h, 72 h, and 7 days of exposure. Biomarkers suggested oxidative stress, with elevated…
