Model		2450 MHz (CW) exposure to rats and mice and analysis of behavioral responses
Details		CD-1 mice and CD rats were exposed to 2450 MHz (CW) MW for 1 hour at incident field strengths of 15 mW/cm2 (no SAR value was provided). Exposure did not cause mice or rats to change their orientation in the field with regard to either increasing or decreasing the level of energy absorption. In similar studies, Long Evans rats were exposed to 2450 MHz (CW) for 15.5 hours every sixth night at power densities of 5, 10 or 15 mW/cm2 and immediately tested for performance in an operant behavior task for a food pellet. Exposure resulted in decreased performance when at the highest levels in combination with an elevated core temperature. The authors suggest the results were due to increased temperature.
