"...The 9.417-GHz microwaves used in this experiment belong to X-band electromagnetic radiation, which is widely used in space research, satellite broadcasts, communication satellites, meteorology satellites, and especially radar detection."

"RESULTS

Microwave radiation in utero increased the anxiety-related behavior of mice

The OFT and EPM were performed to evaluate the anxiety-related behavior of offspring. The results of the OFT indicated that the total distance covered by the offspring of the various study groups did not differ significantly. This suggested that the mice did not differ in motor ability (Fig. 1A). However, frequency of entries into and duration of time spent in the center zone for the Radiation group of mice were lower compared with the Control and Sham-control mice (P < 0.05), suggesting an increase in the anxiety-related behavior of exposed mice (for both male and female mice) (Fig. 1B and C)."
