This animal PET study examined whether a weak 60-Hz magnetic field alters brain glucose utilization in rats. The abstract reports increased FDG uptake in hindbrain voxels when a 2.5-G field was oriented orthogonally to the sagittal plane, but not when field direction varied randomly. Distinct activation effects were…
