Model		9 GHz (PW) exposure to Cross Spiders and analysis of CNS effects
Details		Cross spiders were exposed to 9.6 GHz (PW-1.0 usec pw, 970-1000 pps) overnight (during web spinning activity) at an estimated SAR of 40, 4, or 0.4 W/Kg in an anechoic chamber. Although exposure at 0.4 W/kg resulted in an apparent difference in number of radii and the angle regularity, the authors indicate that the pre-exposure values in this group were atypical, and coupled with the observation that exposure at higher levels (4 and 40 W/kg) had no effect, the authors conclude exposure at these levels has no effect on spider web spinning CNS behavior.
