[Effect of microwaves on the spike activity of cerebellar Purkinje cells in the cat].

In acute experiments on adult anesthetized cats, the reaction of identified cerebellar Purkinje cells to local exposure to the decimetric micro-waves (80, 400, 1200 mWt/cm2) involved a change of the firing rate, shortening of the inhibitory pause of the Purkinje cells, increasing in the frequency first of simple and then of complex spikes and, finally, appearance of bursts of impulse activity of the Purkinje cells.
