Abstract :
In the daily life of man today, the advancement of technology and industry has exposed him to magnetic and electromagnetic fields, which are likely to have serious negative effects on human health. The aim of this laboratory study was to investigate the effect of 8 mT Tesla electromagnetic field (50 Hz) on memory retrieval (memory) in mice. For this purpose, adult male and female NMRI mice were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Passive descent avoidance method was used to test memory 24 hours after training. The results showed that 90 minutes before the reminder had a significant effect on remembering information in male mice, but was not effective in female mice.
