Summary:
This in vivo study investigated whether perinatal (immediately before and after birth) exposure to ELF magnetic fields is associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). In the study male mice were either exposed or sham-exposed to a 1 mT 50 Hz magnetic field continuously during the last week of gestation and for 7 days after delivery. The exposed mice demonstrated reduced social interaction. The authors conclude that these results are supportive of a causal link between exposure to ELF and ASD.
