There are suggestions in the literature that neuronal networks may be the target of RF. We used a TEM cell (GSM-1800; input power 1 W; SAR level: 3.5 W/Kg; 0.3°C) to expose neuronal networks cultured in MEAs (multielectrode arrays). Cultures (N=14, 13-40 days) from embryonic cortical neurons were exposed for 3 min and analysis of neuronal electric activity, in terms of action potentials or spikes, showed no change in the number of spikes before and after exposure.
