Study Type		In Vitro
Model		900 MHz (CW, PW) exposure to snail neurons and hipocampal slices and analysis of firing rate
Details		Snail (Lymnea stagnalis) neurons were exposed to 900 MHz (CW, PW-0.5 to 110 pps) at 1-5 W/kg in a waveguide and analyzed for neuron firing using microelectrode and voltage-clamp techniques. When subjected to PW, rapid burst-like changes in the firing rate of neurons occurred. The effect was dependent on modulation, but not on modulation frequency, and had a threshold SAR near 0.5 W/kg. CW radiation had no effect. Mediator-induced, current activation of acetyl-choline, dopamine, serotonin, or gamma-aminobutyric-acid receptors of the neuronal soma was not altered during CW or PW exposures.
