Microwave effect on calcium current of the dialysed snail neurons was investigated. Isolated neurons were irradiated by unmodulated and modulated microwaves (900 MHz) with modulation frequency 0,5 divided by 1000 Hz and SAR = 0,1 divided by 20 W/kg. Calcium current increase was shown to be induced by microwave heating. The current increments were proportional to SAR. Microwave effects on the charge distribution of the cell membrane surface and other non-thermal special microwave effects were not detected.
