The effects of electromagnetic fields(EMFs) emitted by mobile phones on humans central nervous system(CNS) have been the subject of a large number of experimental studies in recent years. However,those results showed were *** present study investigated the effects of 900MHz EMF on behavioral and histopathology changes of brain of adult Spraque - Dawley(SD) *** group was housed in our animal room during the exposure *** group was placed in the exposure box but not exposed to EMF(power density:0mw/cm,2 h/day for consecutive 28 days).EMF group rats were exposed to 900 MHz EMF(power density:1 mw/cm,2 h/day for consecutive 28 days) in an exposure *** of those rats were subjected to behavioral tests by Morris water maze or histologically change in SVZ(subventricular zone ) and SGZ(subgranular zone) of *** the BrdU cells in SVZand SGZ were *** showed that the latency of place navigation was significantly increased(P<0.05) at timepoints of Oh,24h, 48h and 72h after exposure,the times through platform and the time in target area were obviously decreased (P<0.05 ) in spatial probe test in EMF group rats compared with those in sham group *** structural changes of hippocampus after exposure including celluer edema,vessel stenosis and neurons loss. Apoptotic cells in hippocampus was significant increased in the exposure group(P<0.05 ).The number of BrdU cells were significantly decreased in timepoints of 7d after exposure both in SVZ and SGZ regions(P<0.05) of the EMF group;Timeoint of 3d also decreased in SVZ region(P<0.05) in comparison to sham *** results indicated that chronic exposure to 900 MHz EMF(power density:1 mw/cm ) may induce morphological structural changes of cells in the rat SVZ and hippocapus and resulted in learning and memory deficits.
