Today’s update from Ben features a very interesting and important research study, titled ‘The Effects of Extremely Low Geomagnetic Field Intensity on the Mammalian Central Nervous System’. It found extremely low geomagnetic field exposure had a detrimental effect on mice, whose nervous systems bear similarities to those of humans, and who demonstrated more aggressive behaviour due to this exposure. Again, very interesting, but unfortunate for the poor mice who were involved in this study.
