Quantitative histologic changes of the glioneuronal complex in the central and intermediate parts of the visual analyzer exposed to microwaves of thermogenic intensity

Whole-body exposure of guinea pigs to microwaves of 60 mW/cm2 for 10 min causes quantitative changes in glial population of outer geniculate bodies and visual cortex that are manifested by the enlarged perineuronal glia, an increased glioneuronal index, and a relatively stable perivascular glia. The dynamics of the changes observed indicates higher reactivity and repair capacity of the glioneuronal complex of outer geniculate bodies.
