ID Number		1447
Study Type		In Vivo
Model		2450 MHz (CW) exposure at thermal levels to pidgeons and analysis of migratory behavior
Details		Domestic pigeons (Columba livia) were exposed to microwaves and analyzed for brain temperature and migration behavior. The authors report effects of thermal levels of exposure. In previous studies, the authors also examined effects of non-RF brain temperature increases and cooling via corneal convection using thermocouples chronically implanted in the hypothalamus and anterior eye chamber and reported that air flow (at the speed of flight) across the eyes was effective in cooling the brain during internal heat production.
Findings		Effects (only at thermal levels)
Status		Completed With Publication
