Abstract

The possible effects of electromagnetic waves of Wi-Fi router on the hippocampus of male rats

Highlights

  • The Hippocampus, the region of the brain that is associated primarily with memory

  • There is increasing in incidence rates of using the electromagnetic field in daily life at work and at home, and it is considered one of the environmental stimuli affects different cells and organs in the body

  • Histological results of haematoxylin and eosin (H&E): ➢ Control group: Higher power examination of CA3 area showed it was formed of large, normal pyramidal loosely packed neurons

Summary

Introduction

The Hippocampus, the region of the brain that is associated primarily with memory. Its shape resembles that of a sea horse. The hippocampus, a part of the limb system, which is important in regulating emotional responses. It is involved in storing long-term memories and in making those memories resistant to disremember. It is a cheap common technology that exposes its users to a spectrum of short wavelength electromagnetic waves (2.45 GHz). It may affect cell function via non-thermal effects, and its exposure can increase reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and decrease cognitive function. Results: revealed that the Wi-Fi router radiation caused remarkable degeneration of hippocampal pyramidal and granular neurons and an increase in the aggregation of the intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) in the neuronal cell body. Electromagnetic radiation exposure can cause hippocampal dysfunction through the neuronal damage effect
