Abstract

Male CD1 mice were exposed in utero to a 50 Hz sinusoidal magnetic field at 5 mT (rms) for the period of gestation and were raised subsequently without applied fields. At 82-84 days of age, they began a radial-arm-maze experiment that was designed to test for deficits in spatial learning and memory. Mice exposed in utero and sham-exposed mice exhibited no statistically significant differences in performances.
