A series of four experiments was performed to determine the effect of exposure to a 50 Hz magnetic field on memory-related behaviour of adult, male C57BL/6J mice. Experimental subjects were exposed to a vertical, sinusoidal magnetic field at 0.75 mT (rms), for 45 min immediately before daily testing

โฆ Synopsis
Male CDI mice were exposed in utero to a 50 Hz sinusoidal magnetic field at 5 mT (rms) for the period of gestation and were raised subsequently without applied fields. At 82-84 days of age, they began a radial-arm-maze experiment that was designed to test for deficits in spatial learning and memory. Mice exposed in utero and sham-exposed mice exhibited no statistically significant differences in performances. 01996 Wiiey-Liss, Inc.

Intense magnetic fields have been shown to affect memory-related behaviours of rodents. A series of experiments was performed to investigate further the effects of a 50 Hz magnetic field on the foraging behaviour of adult, male C57BL/6J mice performing a spatial learning task in an eight-arm radial
