Model		2.45, 15 GHz (CW&PW) exposure to Aplasia neurons and analysis of firing rate
Details		Aplysia ganglion cells were exposed to 2450 MHz or 15 GHz (CW or PW) MW at incident field strengths of up to 15 mW/cm2. Exposure resulted in a temperature dependent change in firing rate as well as a decreased interspike and interburst interval that did not appear to be temperature dependent. The threshold for these effects was between 1-7 W/kg. Because conventional heating did not produce the same effects, the authors postulate MW induced changes in the ionic conductance of the membrane or receptor ligand interaction might be responsible for the effects.
