Study Type		In Vivo
Model		2450 MHz (PW,CW) exposure to rats and analysis of EEG
Details		Wistar rats were exposed to 2450 MHz (PW- 2 usec pulse width at 100 Hz) beginning on the 6th day after birth for 14 days (?-not clear as to how long per day) at a power density of 8.25 mW/cm2 (no SAR - total energy deposition of 79.3 J/g). Minor changes in the 8-11 Hz alpha bands were reported by the authors, but no permanent change in EEG. In an earlier study, Wistar rats (adults and 7-day old pups) were exposed to 2450 MHz (CW) MW for 28 days at power density of 8.25 mW/cm2. Exposure also resulted in minor EEG changes in pups that were not seen in adult rats. The authors suggest the growth stage of the rats as well as the total amount of absorbed energy are the critical factors influencing MW effects in rats.
