This 1968 Soviet research examined how weak electromagnetic stimuli, including constant magnetic fields and microwaves, affect neuroglia (brain support cells) and their protective barrier function. The study found that these EMF exposures can activate neuroglia cells and lead to inhibited states in the central nervous system. The research demonstrated that neuroglia work as an integrated system with neurons and play active roles in nerve cell functioning.

This 1968 study exposed 65 rabbits to microwave radiation while administering various neurological drugs, measuring brain wave activity through electroencephalograms.

Soviet researchers exposed rats to decimeter wave radiation (110 mW/cm²) for 60 minutes daily and found it decreased cholinesterase activity in the brain. Rats that were already sensitive to noise showed the most dramatic changes, suggesting pre-existing nervous system conditions may amplify EMF effects.
STANISLAW BARANSKI, ZBIGNIEW EDELWEJN · 1967
Polish researchers exposed 70 male rabbits to microwave radiation for 60 days, measuring brain wave activity and examining brain tissue under microscopes. They found that chronic microwave exposure at power levels that didn't heat the tissue still caused measurable changes in brain function and structure. Pulsed microwaves produced more pronounced effects than continuous waves.

Eustace F. G. Douglas et al. · 1967
Researchers applied 70 Hz electrical currents to macaque monkeys' heads to study how electroanesthesia affects brain responses. They found that increasing electrical current intensity gradually suppressed brain activity in key thalamic regions until responses disappeared completely at anesthetic levels. The study demonstrates that external electrical fields can directly interfere with normal brain function.
R. A. CHIZHENKOVA · 1967
Soviet researchers exposed rabbits to magnetic fields and microwave radiation, then measured brain wave changes using EEG technology. They found that both constant magnetic fields (460 oersteds) and microwave frequencies caused distinct brain wave alterations, including increased 'spindles' and slow, high-amplitude waves. Even after surgically removing key brain structures, the electromagnetic effects persisted, suggesting direct brain stimulation rather than reflex responses.

Researchers tested squirrel monkeys' decision-making abilities after electroanesthesia (electrical current used for surgical anesthesia) to measure true recovery time. While monkeys could move almost immediately after the electrical current stopped, their cognitive performance remained impaired for about 30 minutes, revealing that apparent physical recovery doesn't equal complete neurological recovery.
Edward J. Zuperku et al. · 1967
Researchers applied 70 Hz electrical currents to squirrel monkeys' heads and measured how this affected their visual system's electrical responses. They found that these currents disrupted normal brain processing of visual information, with different parts of the visual pathway responding differently to the electrical interference. This demonstrates how external electrical fields can interfere with the brain's normal electrical activity.

Russell L. Carpenter, Clair A. Van Ummersen · 1967
This 1967 study exposed rabbit eyes to microwave radiation at frequencies from 2.45 to 10 GHz and found it caused cataracts in the lens. The researchers discovered that the location and type of cataract depended on how the eye was exposed, and that repeated shorter exposures could accumulate to cause damage. Importantly, the evidence suggested these cataracts weren't simply caused by heating effects.
Russell L. Carpenter, Clair A. Van Ummersen · 1967
This 1967 study exposed rabbit eyes to microwave radiation at frequencies from 2.45 GHz to 10 GHz and found it caused cataracts in the lens. The location of the cataracts depended on how the radiation was delivered, and researchers noted the damage wasn't simply from heating but from some other property of the microwaves.
Ivanov-Muromskiy, K. A., Likhachev, A. I. · 1967
Soviet researchers in 1967 exposed human and rabbit heads to powerful 7000 gauss magnetic fields to study nervous system effects.

Bryan, Robert N. · 1966
Researchers in 1966 exposed rats to microwave radiation immediately after training them in a shock-avoidance task. Rats that received microwave exposure retained their learned response 24 hours later, but rats that were handled before the experiment lost this memory despite being capable of learning. This suggests microwave radiation may interfere with normal memory consolidation processes.
