Popis:	The probability of a whole-body movement in rats exposed to one second microwave pulses is a function of power. This functional relationship is similar in deafened and hearing rats, which eliminates microwave hearing as a possible mechanism for the effect. Observed thermal gradients in the facial skin support the hypothesis that tactile sensations are the eliciting stimulus for the whole-body movement, but do not address the hypothesis that microwave fields exert a direct effect on the central nervous system to cause the movement.
