This 1968 study exposed 65 rabbits to microwave radiation while administering various neurological drugs, measuring brain wave activity through electroencephalograms. Researchers found that microwaves altered how the brain responded to these drugs, changing tolerance levels and brain electrical patterns. The findings suggest microwaves can directly affect the brain's reticular formation, which controls arousal and consciousness.

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.

While specific findings aren't available, this research contributed to foundational understanding of electromagnetic field interactions with brain tissue.
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.

This represents early scientific investigation into how external electrical fields can directly influence brain function and consciousness.
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. They found the magnetic field decreased red blood cell sedimentation rates and hemoglobin while increasing white blood cell counts. In humans, brain exposure raised pain tolerance and reduced sensitivity to electrical stimulation.
D. P. Photiades, S. C. Ayivorh · 1967
Researchers in 1967 tested whether electrostatic fields could help monkeys relax before electroanesthesia procedures. They found that 750 volt per centimeter electrostatic fields produced relaxing and mild sleep-inducing effects in monkeys. This suggested a way to reduce the dangerous side effects of electrical anesthesia by using less current.

Soviet researchers in 1967 studied how rabbit brain cortex responded to electromagnetic fields and light stimulation, finding that rhythmic electromagnetic exposure affected brain wave patterns and neuron activity. The study revealed that most visual cortex neurons were inhibited during rhythmic stimulation, while a smaller portion became activated. This early research demonstrated that electromagnetic fields can directly influence brain electrical activity in living animals.
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.
A. S. PETROV · 1966
This 1966 Soviet review examined how superhigh frequency (SHF) electromagnetic radiation affects the human body. The research found that microwave frequencies above 3000 MHz penetrate only about 1 cm into skin, while lower frequencies (1000-3000 MHz) can reach several centimeters deep, potentially affecting vital organs like the heart and brain.
J. Richard Toleikis et al. · 1966
This 1966 study developed techniques to record individual brain cell activity in squirrel monkeys during electroanesthesia using 70 Hz electrical pulses.

Researchers exposed 20 male rats to UHF radio waves (300-920 MHz) for 47 consecutive days and tracked behavioral changes. The radiated rats initially became more active but grew less active over time, showed increased emotional responses, and took longer to recover from induced seizures. The study suggested these behavioral effects were non-thermal and related to changes in the nervous system.
