“…Their conceptual approach is based to a large extent on Pavlovian methods (81) and the principle of nervism which constitutes one of the most important theoretical bases for Soviet medicine in general. * Several investigators have reported that rf or microwave exposure produces alterations in the electroencephalogram (EEG) (82)(83)(84)(85)(86). Stimulation is often followed by increased amplitude and decreased frequency of EEG components, or by decreased amplitude and increased frequency.…”

During the last 25 years, there has been a remarkable development and increase in the number of processes and devices that utilize or emit microwaves. Such devices are used in all sectors of our society for military, industrial, telecommunications, and consumer applications. Although there is information on biologic effects and potential hazard to man from exposure to microwaves, considerable confusion and misinformation has permeated not only the public press but also some scientific and technical publications. The purpose of this review is to place the available information on biologic effects of microwaves in proper perspective and to suggest approaches to future studies.

“…Animal studies. In the 1960s and 1970s, scientists in both Eastern European countries and the United States had reported the alteration of EEG and evoked responses in animals exposed to RF fields [Bawin et al, 1960;Kholodov, 1963;Baranski and Edlwejn, 1967;Johnson and Guy, 1972;Bawin et al, 1973]. Taylor and Ashleman [1975] showed that a decrease in latency and amplitude of the monosynaptic ventral root reflex of a cat spinal cord exposed to 2.45 GHz microwaves can also be produced by raising the temperature of the perfusion solution.…”

Studies have evaluated the electroencephalography (EEG) of humans and laboratory animals during and after Radiofrequency (RF) exposures. Effects of RF exposure on the blood-brain barrier (BBB) have been generally accepted for exposures that are thermalizing. Low level exposures that report alterations of the BBB remain controversial. Exposure to high levels of RF energy can damage the structure and function of the nervous system. Much research has focused on the neurochemistry of the brain and the reported effects of RF exposure. Research with isolated brain tissue has provided new results that do not seem to rely on thermal mechanisms. Studies of individuals who are reported to be sensitive to electric and magnetic fields are discussed. In this review of the literature, it is difficult to draw conclusions concerning hazards to human health. The many exposure parameters such as frequency, orientation, modulation, power density, and duration of exposure make direct comparison of many experiments difficult. At high exposure power densities, thermal effects are prevalent and can lead to adverse consequences. At lower levels of exposure biological effects may still occur but thermal mechanisms are not ruled out. It is concluded that the diverse methods and experimental designs as well as lack of replication of many seemingly important studies prevents formation of definite conclusions concerning hazardous nervous system health effects from RF exposure. The only firm conclusion that may be drawn is the potential for hazardous thermal consequences of high power RF exposure.
