Composite battery scores of young, sham- and ELF-MF-exposed aged groups. (a) Spider graph showing normalized z-score performance across the different cognitive domains of the test battery. Means and SEM of z-scores data for each group are provided in Table S1. Young-mice outperformed aged mice from the sham- and ELF-MF-exposed groups. ELF-MF chronic exposure did not alter the pattern of performance expressed by sham-exposed aged mice. (b) The overall battery score of sham-exposed aged mice was lower compared to young mice, indicating an age-dependent effect. Scores of sham- and ELF-MF-exposed groups were similar, indicating not effect of ELF-MF chronic exposure. ****p < 0.0001; n = 18–53 mice/group.
