    Summary

    Radiofrequency and microwave radiation exposure can alter the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in animals. Changes depend on radiation parameters and can be reversible, affecting specific brain structures.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Biophysics
    • Radiation Biology

    Context:

    • The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is crucial for central nervous system homeostasis.
    • Exposure to non-ionizing radiation is increasing in modern society.
    • Understanding the biological effects of radiofrequency and microwave radiation is vital.

    Purpose:

    • To analytically review the effects of radiofrequency and microwave radiation on blood-brain barrier (BBB) function in experimental animal models.
    • To correlate BBB changes with specific radiation parameters, including power, temporal characteristics, and unevenness.
    • To synthesize existing research on BBB permeability markers, molecular weight, and thermogenic effects.

    Summary:

    • This review analyzes studies on radiofrequency and microwave radiation's impact on the BBB in animals.
    • It examines how radiation power, duration, and intensity influence BBB permeability.
    • The analysis considers marker properties, brain structure sensitivity, and the role of thermogenesis, noting potential reversibility of effects.

    Impact:

    • Provides a consolidated understanding of how electromagnetic radiation affects the critical BBB.
    • Highlights the importance of radiation parameters in determining biological consequences.
    • Informs future research and safety guidelines regarding non-ionizing radiation exposure.
