When Flatworms Can’t Learn: What EMF Does to Memory Formation

New research shows that electromagnetic fields can completely block learning ability in flatworms at field strengths thousands of times weaker than your smartphone produces.

I'm R Blank, and today I'm breaking down a fascinating study that reveals how EMF exposure disrupts memory formation at the most fundamental biological level. We'll explore what happens when simple organisms lose their ability to learn and what this might mean for developing brains in our wireless world.

In This Episode

• How theta burst electromagnetic fields completely blocked learning in planaria flatworms
• Why theta brain rhythms matter for memory formation across all species
• What field strengths of just one microtesla reveal about everyday EMF exposure
