Abstract
Terahertz is a new radiation source with many unique advantages. In recent years, its application has rapidly expanded to various fields, but there are few studies on the individual effects of terahertz. In this study, we investigated the behavioral effects of terahertz radiation on C57BL/6 mice, and we conducted an open field test, an elevated plus maze test, a light–dark box test, a three-chamber social test, and a forced swim test to explore the effects of terahertz radiation on mice from a behavioral perspective. The results show that terahertz wave may increase anti-anxiety, anti-depression, and social interaction in mice.

IntroductionBehavioral Effect of Terahertz Waves in C57BL/6 Mice
These results show terahertz treatment may increase anti-anxiety in mice
We adjusted the treatment time; each mouse was treated for min and min for consecutive days, terahertz treatment time; each mouse was treated for 5 minutes and 10 minutes for 10 and we performed thewe open field testthe to detect anxiety
Summary
Behavioral Effect of Terahertz Waves in C57BL/6 Mice. Terahertz (THz) wave is an electromagnetic wave with a frequency of 0.1–10 THz; the electromagnetic wave radiation wavelength range is 0.03–3 mm. THz waves are located in a unique band in the entire electromagnetic spectrum [1,2]. With the continuous development of terahertz technology, it has been gradually studied and applied in various fields: remote sensing radar [3], material structure detection [4], data transmission [5], communication [6], security [7], and counter-terrorism [8]. THz waves have the characteristics of low energy and non-ionizing radiation, and it will not cause harmful damage to biological tissues or organisms [9,10]; THz are used to identify and distinguish various biological small molecules [11], macromolecules [12–14], biological information extraction [15], and drug component detection [16]
