Study Type		In Vivo
Model		1.4 GHz (PDC) exposure to rats and analysis of behavioral performance in a T-maze
Details		Sprague Dawley rats (n=168, food deprived) were exposed to 1.4 GHz (TDMA -PDC) RF for 1 hr/day for either 4 days or 4 weeks at an SAR of 7.5 or 25 W/kg brain peak [1.7 and 5.7 W/kg whole body average] in a carousel irradiation system and analyzed for spatial discrimination and reference memory behavior in a T-maze for a food reward. No effects of 7.4 W/kg RF exposure on reference memory were observed. Decreases in performance at 25 W/kg were attributed to an increase of 2 degrees in core temperature (thermal effects) during exposure.
Findings		Effects (only at thermal levels)
