[Effect of local SHF-irradiation of the rat foot on impulse activity in the tibial 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.
