Abstract :
A model of a mechanism for nonthermal interaction of RF or microwave fields with excitable cellular membranes is presented. It may be possible for an oscillating component of membrane potential to change the conductance of the membrane to all ion species which transverse voltage-dependent membrane channels. Some specific effects on squid giant axon predicted by the model are discussed.
