Effects of 1.5 and 4.3 GHz microwave radiation on cognitive function and hippocampal tissue structure in Wistar rats.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies have shown that single-frequency microwave radiation can lead to cognitive decline in rats. However, few studies have focused on the combined effects of irradiation with different frequencies of microwaves. Our research aimed to investigate the effects of 1.5 GHz and 4.3 GHz microwave radiation, singly and in combination, on cognitive function and hippocampal tissue structure in rats. A total of 140 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: the S group (sham radiation group), L10 group (10 mW/cm² 1.5 GHz group), C10 group (10 mW/cm² 4.3 GHz band group) and LC10 group (10 mW/cm² 1.5 and 4.3 GHz multi-frequency radiation group). For 1-28 days after microwave radiation, we analyzed the average escape latency for the Morris water ma
