[Changes in the activity and conditioned-reflex behavior of white rats during and after chronic microwave irradiation].

Albino rats were exposed to chronic (1-3 months) electromagnetic radiation (2375 MHz; 1, 5, 10, 50 and 500 microW/cm2; 7 hours a day). Inhibition of the activity during the open field tests and diminution of consolidation of the defence conditioned reflexes in a shuttle chamber occurred during exposure (5 to 500 microW/cm2) while the activity increased and reflexes consolidation gradually normalized during the post-irradiation period.
