  "main_findings": "Microwave radiation and strychnine produced changes in electrocorticogram spectral parameters and nonlinear dynamics measures (correlation dimension, Kolmogorov entropy) that were opposite to those induced by urethane. The modulatory effect of microwaves on cerebral bioelectric activity in narcotized rats was described as similar to strychnine and probably related to enhanced excitability and increased complexity of bioelectric processes.",

    "No microwave exposure parameters reported (e.g., frequency, power/SAR, duration).",
