Effect of THz-radiation on Behavior of Male Mice

Abstract

Effect of terahertz radiation (3.6 THz, 81.5 mkm,15 mV) on some behavioral patterns of intact mice has been investigated. In home cage mice demonstrated avoidance of laser ray and enhanced replacement activity in free behavior. Animals irradiated during 30 minutes manifested an increased level of anxiety, which was evaluated in the plus maze test on the day following the radiation.
