dc.description.abstract | Purpose: To compare in the electroencephalogram of rats the effects of scopolamine (an acetylcholine receptor antagonist) alone and after repeated exposure to low‐level microwaves modulated at extremely low frequency. Materials and methods: Averaged frequency spectra (0.5–30 Hz) of the electroencephalogram were studied in freely moving rats with carbon electrodes implanted into the somatosensory cortex. The rats were repeatedly (3 days, 30 min day−1) exposed to low‐intensity (≅0.3 mW cm−2) microwaves (915 MHz, 20‐ms pulse duration), amplitude modulated (square‐wave) at extremely low frequency (4 Hz). Results: The exposure to extremely low frequency microwaves alone significantly enhanced the fast electroencephalographic rhythms (18–30 Hz). This effect was observed neither in subsequent sham‐exposure experiment nor in radiation‐naïve animals. In the microwave‐exposed rats, scopolamine (0.1 mg kg−1, subcutaneously) did not cause a slowing in the electroencephalogram that was shown in non‐exposed rats. A similarity between the scopolamine‐induced electroencephalogram effect in the microwave‐exposed rats and that of physostigmine (enhancing the acetylcholine level in the brain) in radiation‐naïve animals was noted. This paradoxical phenomenon stimulates new experimentation for understanding its mechanism(s). Conclusions: The data obtained provide additional evidence that repeated low‐level exposure to extremely low frequency microwaves can modify an activity of cholinergic system in the brain. | en |
