Abstract
After a short review of the nervous system and its constituents, recen t data on microwave bioeffects are reviewed and evaluated, in particul ar, the effects on the brain and the spinal cord and under low-level i rradiation. Special attention is paid to new results on the effects of modulated and pulsed waves with respect to both continuous wave (CW) irradiation, and,, In particular, to the frequency of the modulation. The last section nervous fibers, where significant progress has been m ade during the last years, Except for some tutorial aspects, the revie wed literature essentially covers the 1990-1995 period.
