Model		1.25 GHz (CW, PW) exposure to mice and analysis of behavior
Details		BALB/c mice (female) were exposed to 1.25 GHz (CW or PW- 0.01 msec pulse width and 25-2,000 msec pulse duration, 80Hz ) microwaves at whole body SARs between 0.18 - 1.45 W/kg (corresponding brain SARs of 0.29 - 2.36 W/kg) in a restraining device in an anechoic chamber. There was an increase in body movements with MW exposure with a threshold of ~ 1 W/kg (whole body), and was linearly related to the increase in skin temperature. The authors suggest this effect is probably the result of perception by the mice of thermal sensations on the skin.
