title: [Observations of changes in neurobehavioral functions in workers exposed to high-frequency radiation].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the effects of exposure to high-frequency radiation on neurobehavioral function of the exposed workers and its measurement in evaluating occupational hazards caused by it.
  
  
  METHODS
  Four neurobehavioral functions were tested for the workers exposed to high-frequency radiation with Neurobehavioral Core Tests Battery recommended by WHO.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Scores for various indicators in exposed workers were significantly lower than those in controls, and correlated to the detection of neurasthenia in the exposed workers, to certain extent.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Changes in neurobehavioral function in workers exposed to high-frequency radiation can reflect its important adverse effects.
