Effects of low power microwave electromagnetic fields on brain neurodynamics

The aim of this report is the investigation of the action of low power microwaves on brain neurodynamics. New technical equipment and a modern method of biosignal processing is elaborated for realization of the purpose in hand. The results obtained in this work can answer the questions which arose in a preceding publication (see A. Vander Vorst et al., “The action of microwave electromagnetic fields on nervous system,” Proc. Internat. Conf. IEEE Antennas and Propag. Soc., Nice, France, p. 111-19, Nov. 1992). It is shown that microwave radiation injected into bioactive points can excite the same transmission channels and brain structures as in the case of acupuncture application. But due to the involvement of antinociceptive systems in the brain the integrative process is different. The microwave radiation produces a widespread activation of the hypothalamus and its dominant role in the process of the subcortical-cortical interaction. These physiological phenomena are the basis of the normalization of body function in the course of microwave therapy
