Model		3 GHz (CW, PW) exposure to guinea pigs and rabbits and analysis of brain function
Details		Guinea pigs were exposed to 2450 MHz (CW & PW) microwaves. Acetylcholinesterase activity decreased following acute exposure at 25 mW/cm2 and increased following chronic exposure (3 hrs/day for 3 months) at 3.5 mW/cm2. These results were not replicated by Millar et al 1984 and Galvin et al 1981. In other studies, rabbits were exposed to 3 GHz (CW, PW) at a power density of 7 mW/cm2 for 3 hours a day for 60 days. The authors report EEG (using implanted electrodes) and morphological changes (using H&E stained brain slices after sacrifice) to the CNS that were more pronounced with PW than with CW exposure.
