A new study published in Bioelectromagnetics found that exposure to theta burst electromagnetic fields completely blocked fear-based learning in planaria flatworms -- while unexposed worms learned normally.

In this episode, R Blank breaks down what this research reveals about how electromagnetic fields may interfere with basic memory formation processes. He explores the significance of theta rhythms in the nervous system and what findings from a simple organism might tell us about the broader relationship between EMF exposure and neurological function.

In This Episode* What theta burst electromagnetic fields are and how this study tested their effects on learning * Why planaria flatworms are a meaningful model for studying basic memory and fear conditioning * What theta rhythms are and why they matter across species
