Microwave radiation had a modulatory effect on brain activity similar to strychnine, likely due to increased excitability and more complex bioelectric processes.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers studied the effects of microwave radiation and strychnine on cerebral biopotentials in narcotized rats. Strychnine and microwave radiation produced changes in spectral parameters of electrocorticogram, correlation dimension, and Kolmogorov entropy opposite to those induced by urethane.

Why This Matters

The modulatory effect of microwaves on bioelectric cerebral activity was similar to the effect of strychnine. This effect was probably related to enhanced excitability of brain structures and complication of bioelectric processes.
