  "main_findings": "In isolated frog spinal cord exposed to continuous-wave 6.45 GHz microwaves (SAR 0.1–2 W/g), no changes in synaptic transmission or EPSP summation were observed when preparation temperature was kept constant. VHF and conventional heating produced the same effects, supporting a thermal mechanism.",
