Neurodegenerative effects of radiofrequency fields

This thesis studied the cognitive and structural effects of radiofrequency fields exposure on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and ageing. Two mice models were chosen, the J20 transgenic mice as a model of AD, and the senescence-accelerated mouse model SAMP8 for ageing. Mice underwent a chronic exposure and behavioural assessments either immediately post-exposure or after a latency period. At the end of the study, histological analysis was performed. Results were analysed with Minitab® and showed a possible transient effect of EMF exposure on activity and motivation in the J20 mouse model of AD.
