Abstract

In an experiment with white nubilous male rats the morphofunctional state of neurons in the cerebral hemisphere cortex was evaluated with the morphological and statistical methods following electromagnetic exposure (500 impulses once a week for 5, 7 and 10 mos.) inducing in the animal body the averaged current densities of 0.21 and 1.5 kA/m2. Chronic exposure to electromagnetic fields with the density of 0.21 kA/m2 was found to increase the biosynthetic activity of neurons by way of compensation and adaptation and level at the end of experiment, whereas the density of 1.5 kA/m2 brings about profound structural and functional disorders in and inhibits the biosynthetic activity of the neurons.
