Orientation Effects on Microwave-SncHiced Hyperthermia and Neurochemical Correlates

Abstract
This paper describes the effect of field orientation on the hyperthermia produced by microwave irradiation. Rats exposed in the E-orientation (long-axis of animal parallel to E-field) to 1600 MHz radiation become significantly hotter than those exposed in the H-field at the same power density. Norepinephrine and dopamine, but not serotonin, content of the basal hypothalamus is reduced as a concomitant of microwave-induced brain hyperthermia.
