1990-1995 advances in investigating the interaction of microwave fields with the nervous system review

Endpoint

• effects on the neurological system: brain energy metabolism; microwave auditory effect (auditory sensation of radar-like pulses); neuro-chemistry (cholinergic activity); concentration of benzodiazepine receptors (responsive to anxiety and stress) and endogenous opioids
• epidemiology (microwave syndrome)

Exposure

No exposure details are available.

Endpoint

• effects on the neurological system: effects on the brain and the spinal cord (brain metabolism; EEG; cerebral blood flow; blood-brain barrier; evoked potentials; neurotransmitter release; microwave auditory effect; cholinergic activity; effect on benzodiazepine receptors)
