Effect of acute exposure to low-level CW and GSM-modulated 900 MHz radiofrequency on synaptic transmission and plasticity in the rat perirhinal cortex

چکیده
We are studying non-thermal effects of continuous wave (2 W/kg) and GSM-modulated (2 or 4 W/kg) 900 MHz radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic field exposure on synaptic transmission and plasticity in rat perirhinal cortex slices. Preliminary results, still under elaboration, indicate that the exposure to both RF signals may cause small changes in synaptic plasticity in our experimental conditions.

Introduction: Electrochemotherapy (ECT) is a cancer treatment modality to permeabilize cell membrane facilitating the non-permeant molecules to gain access to the cytosol of cells. Nevertheless, environmental electromagnetic fields (EMFs) may disturb the efficiency of ECT. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of EMFs 900 MHz pulse-modulated by 217 Hz extremely low-frequency fields ...
