2.45 GHz Microwave radiation impairs hippocampal learning and spatial memory Involvement of local stress mechanism induced suppression of iGluR/ERK/CREB signaling

Exposed mices: Slower learning. Increased number of working and reference memory errors in the radial arm maze task. Increases serum corticosterone level and the expression of CRH, CRH-R1 and i-NOS. Decreased expression of iGluRs, n-NOS, PSD-95, PKCε, PKA, ERK-p-ERK, CREB and p-CREB.
