Abstract :
Rabbit vagus nerves and superior cervical ganglia were exposed in vitro to CW and pulsed 2450 MHz fields in a waveguide circulated with temperature-controlled Ringer´s solution. No significant change in characteristics was observed at absorbed power densities of 0.3-1500 W/kg for CW, and 0.3-220 kW/kg peak for pulsed fields as long as temperature was maintained at a constant non-noxious level.
