[Pulse flows of neuronal populations of the cerebral cortex exposed to low intensity microwaves].
Pulse flows of populations of cortical neurons in rabbit were investigated prior to, during, and after 1-min microwave irradiation (wavelength 37.5 cm, power density 0.5-1 mW/cm2). It was found that irradiation caused rearrangements in burst activity, which manifested themselves predominantly as changes in the number of spikes forming the bursts. The direction of shifts depended on the time threshold levels of revelation of bursts. These effects took place during microwave irradiation and after its cessation.
