Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Exposure to sinusoidal (power-frequency) magnetic fields during prenatal development is implicated in adulthood behavioral impairments. However, the effects of prenatal exposure to weak-intensity, nonsinusoidal complex magnetic fields (CMFs), an increasingly common feature of the modern environment, have not been rigorously examined. In the present study, male and female Wistar-strain rats were exposed continually during prenatal development to one of three extremely low-frequency CMFs or a sham condition. As adults, rats were trained in an acquisition/reversal radial maze task. All rats exposed to the prenatal CMFs increased their commission of reference memory errors, but differences in working memory and motivation to complete the maze task were specific to the type of prenatal CMF. These results provide the first evidence that prenatal exposures to specific shapes of CMFs impair complex learning behaviors into adulthood.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
