After a short review of the nervous system and its constituents, recent data on microwave bioeffects are reviewed and evaluated, in particular, the effects on the brain and the spinal cord and under low-level irradiation. Special attention is paid to new results on the effects of modulated and pulsed waves with respect to both continuous wave (CW) irradiation, and, in particular, to the frequency of the modulation. The last section is devoted to modeling and simulation of the nervous system and nervous fibers, where significant progress has been made during the last years. Except for some tutorial aspects, the reviewed literature essentially covers the 1990-1995 period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
