[Effect of local SHF-irradiation of the rat foot on impulse activity in the tibial nerve]. / Vliianie lokal'nogo SVCh-oblucheniia stopy krysy na impul'snuiu aktivnost' v bol'shebertsovom nerve.

In experiments on rats the effects of 2.45 GHz microwave radiation on impulse activity of the afferent structures were studied in single afferent fibres of n. tibialis. Microwaves of both low and high intensity (from 0.04 to 100 mW/cm2) were shown to modify the impulse activity of the afferents which was mainly displayed by the increase in a current average frequency of impulse activity.

In three series of experiments on mice (CBA X C57BL)F1 and Wistar rats a study was made of the effect of microwaves (0.9 GGz, 0.4 mW/cm2, 10 min) on the EEG reaction of adopting the photostimulation rhythm by rats; the effect of microwaves (0.6 GGZ, 0.04 mW/cm2, 5 min) and gamma-quanta (60Co, 0.5 Gy) on the reaction of avoiding by mice of cooled surfaces, and the effect of microwaves (9.8 GGz, 0.04 mW/cm2, 5 min) on the reaction of avoiding the water pool. The results obtained are discussed with regard to the hypothesis that the biological effects of weak microwave radiation may be realized at the nervous system level via cutaneous ceptors.
