Susan Korbel Eakin, William D. Thompson · 1965
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 then grew less active over time, showed increased emotional responses, and took longer to recover from induced seizures. The study suggests these behavioral effects may be non-thermal and related to changes in the nervous system.

French researchers in 1965 exposed bacteria to microwave radiation, then subjected them to gamma ray sterilization to test if the microwave exposure provided any protective effect. The study found that bacteria pre-exposed to very high frequency electromagnetic fields showed improved survival rates when later exposed to lethal gamma radiation. This suggests microwave fields may trigger protective biological responses in living organisms.
