Exposure to Radiofrequency Induces Synaptic Dysfunction in Cortical Neurons Causing Learning and Memory Alteration in Early Postnatal Mice.

This animal study examined 1850 MHz RF-EMF exposure (SAR 4.0 W/kg) in early postnatal mice and assessed synaptic and behavioral outcomes. The abstract reports reductions in dendritic spine maturation markers, decreases in PSD-95 puncta, inhibited neurite outgrowth, and downregulation of synapse-related genes in…

Microwave radiation leading to shrinkage of dendritic spines in hippocampal neurons mediated by SNK-SPAR pathway.

This animal study exposed Wistar rats to microwave radiation (30 mW/cm for 6 minutes, three times per week for six weeks) and assessed cognition, hippocampal dendritic spines, ultrastructure, and SNK-SPAR pathway molecules. The authors report impaired spatial learning and memory, dendritic spine loss/shrinkage, and…

From the Cover: 2.45-GHz Microwave Radiation Impairs Hippocampal Learning and Spatial Memory: Involvement of Local Stress Mechanism-Induced Suppression of iGluR/ERK/CREB Signaling.

This mouse study examined low-level 2.45 GHz continuous-wave microwave exposure for 2 hours/day over 15, 30, or 60 days. The authors report impaired learning and spatial memory performance on an 8-arm radial maze after exposure. They also report increased corticosterone and stress/inflammatory-related markers with…
