Long-term exposure to a hypomagnetic field attenuates adult hippocampal neurogenesis and cognition

Abstract

Exposure to a hypomagnetic field (HMF) influences the cognitive processes of various animals, from insects to human beings. The authors show that in mice exposed to HMF, adult hippocampal neurogenesis and hippocampusdependent learning are impaired and could be rescued by restoring ROS levels.
