Operations and management of government-owned - contractor-operated microwave exposure facility. Volume 3. Physiological responses evoked in mice by high-power microwave pulses. Final report, 1 March 1985-1 February 1988
The investigator's primary objective was to determine whether bursts of narrow-pulse-width, high-intensity microwaves of low average power, would have different effects on the brain than would continuous-wave (CW) exposures yielding equivalent average SAR values. Two rather different approaches for ascertaining the neurophysiological response to patterned (pulsed) microwaves were followed. In one experiment, mice were exposed to single bursts of pulsed microwaves with sufficient energy to produce clear after effects, reduced activity, or hypokinesis. In the other experiment, each mouse was exposed sequentially to various microwave pulse bursts or CW radiation of substantially less energy, and the threshold for evoking motor response (body movements) is ascertained.
