Abstract

Pregnant squirrel monkeys were exposed to 2450‐MHz (CW) microwaves at an equivalent power density of 10 mW/cm^2^ (SAR 3.4 mW/g) for three hours daily in a cavity‐cage module. The exposure began when pregnancy was determined by a hormonal method, and continued through the offspring's first 9.5 months. After irradiation, the brains of the offspring were fixed with formaldehyde, and the inferior vermis of each cerebella was removed and processed for histologic observations. Purkinje cell density in the uvula was determined in sagittal serial sections. There was no significant difference between control and experimental animals in the number of Purkinje cells per mm of Purkinje cell line (linear density), as well as in the density of Purkinje cells in the Purkinje cell layer.

## Abstract Male rats, undernourished from birth until 30 days by restricting access to the lactating dam, were given __ad libitum__ food supplies until 80 days. Body weight, whole brain weight and cerebellar weight remained significantly lower in these animals than in normally fed controls. Signif
