Abstract

It is shown that interneuronal bonds at different levels of the visual analyzer are highly sensitive to microwaves (60 mW/cm2, 10 min). Evidence of this is seen from the early degeneration and reduced numerical density of synapses and, in the cortical substance, in the reduced total length of active zones of contacts. The rate of recovery of the synaptic apparatus decreases in the following order: retina→external geniculate bodies→visual cortex.
