Notes:
The dielectric properties of developing rabbit brain were measured at 37°C between 10 MHz and 18 GHz using time domain and frequency domain systems. The results show a variation with age of the dielectric properties of brain. An analysis of the data suggests that the water dispersion in the brain of newly born animals can be represented by a Debye equation. This dispersion increases in complexity with age, and there is evidence of a smaller additional relaxation process centered around 1 GHz. It is concluded that the principal contribution to this subsidiary dispersion region arises from water of hydration.
