Front Neuroendocrinol. 2019 Dec 18:100819. doi: 10.1016/j.yfrne.2019.100819. [Epub ahead of print] Abstract Stress, primarily processed via the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, engages biological pathways throughout the brain and body which promote adaptation and survival to changing environmental demands. Adaptation to environmental challenges is compromised when these pathways are no longer functioning optimally. The physiological and behavioral mechanisms...

Bioelectromagnetics. 2019 Oct; 40(7): 498–511. Published online 2019 Sep 15. doi: 10.1002/bem.22217 Abstract Despite much research, gaps remain in knowledge about the potential health effects of exposure to radiofrequency (RF) fields. This study investigated the effects of early‐life exposure to pulsed long term evolution (LTE) 1,846 MHz downlink signals on innate mouse behavior. Animals were exposed for 30 min/day,...
