How Power Line Frequencies Changed Worm Behavior - And What It Means for Your Brain
New research shows that sixty hertz magnetic fields -- the same frequency as your electrical power grid -- can alter protein function and change social behavior in living organisms.
In this episode, I break down a fascinating study where researchers exposed worms to power-line frequency magnetic fields and discovered their feeding behavior shifted from social to solitary patterns. The magnetic fields directly altered how receptor proteins functioned in the worms' nervous systems, revealing a biological pathway we're only beginning to understand.
