Abstract
The following basic results were formulated by Yu. Grigoriev in his report Microwave Effect on Embryo Brain: Dose Dependence and the Effect of Modulation: 1)The experiments established that a single short-term exposure to CW or pulse-modulated microwaves at the average incident power densities from 0.4 to 10 mW/cm2 suppressed the imprinting behaviour. 2) Microwaves modulated at 10 Hz were more effective than CW radiation at the same incident power density. 3) The intensity of 40.μW/cm2 was subthreshold to alter the imprinting behaviour in chicks by a short-term CW irradiation of embryos. However, the threshold for modulated microwaves was below 40.μW/cm2. 4) It was also demonstrated that a low-intensity modulated microwave signal can be detected and “memorized” by the embryo brain.
