ELF-EMFs effects on human health are a considerable concern. Studies revealed the adverse effects of ELF-EMF in neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Anxiety could be an early manifestation of AD. There is a correlation between occupational exposure to ELF-EMF and AD. Recently the researchers interested in the study of the effects of ELF-EMFs on the human body. Some studies examined the molecular mechanisms and the influence of ELF-EMFs on the biologic mechanisms in the body. Also, Microglia act in the Central Nervous system (CNS) immune responses; over-activated microglia can be responsible for devastating and progressive neurotoxic consequences in neurodegenerative disorders. This study aimed to evaluate the memory, anxiety, antioxidant activity, β-amyloid deposition, and frequency of the microglial cells exposed to microtesla (μT) and 2000 (μT) ELF-EMFs.
