We studied the effect of terahertz waves (3.6 THz, 81.5 micro, 15 mW) on the behavior of mice. The mice perceived terahertz waves even after short-term exposure (15 min). The effect of terahertz waves was maximum in direct contact of the mice with the laser. Increased anxiety of experimental animals was observed on the next day after 30-min irradiation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
