摘要:Present study was aimed to investigate the effect of pulsed microwave exposure on anxiety & depressionlike behaviour and spatial memory function of laboratory mouse. Mice were exposed to 2.45 GHz frequency with 16and 217 Hzpulse modulation at the rate of 1 msec, pulse width 500 μsec& 50 % duty cycle; specific absorption rate(SAR) of 0.017 W/Kg for 30 days (2 hrs daily, 10.00 to 12.00 IST ). Mice behaviour was monitored in differentbehavioural paradigms and hippocampal tissue was processed for expression analysis of Rac1, Cdc 42 and pCREB(S-133).Our results denote that 16 and 217 Hz did not induce anxiety and depression like behaviour analysed in OFT andFST respectively. Spatial memory function was remained unaffected following pulsed 16 and 217 MW exposures(except decline in time spent in target quadrant of 217 Hz). Expression levels of the above proteins complied with thebehavioural findings and remain unaltered following 16 and 217 MW exposure. Findings of the present studysuggested that 2.45 GHz with the 16 and 217 Hz modulation is unable to trigger any adverse effect on behaviouralfunction of laboratory mouse.
