View Original AbstractTwo weeks of cell phone radiation exposure at 2 W/kg didn't affect new brain cell formation in rats, but longer-term effects remain unknown.
Plain English Summary
Korean researchers exposed rats to cell phone radiation at levels similar to what phones emit (2 W/kg SAR) for up to 8 hours daily over two weeks, then examined whether this affected the brain's ability to generate new neurons. They found no significant changes in new brain cell formation in two key brain regions compared to unexposed rats, suggesting that short-term CDMA cell phone radiation exposure doesn't impair neurogenesis in healthy adult brains.
Study Details
Whether exposure to the 848.5 MHz code division multiple access (CDMA) signal affects adult neurogenesis is unclear.
An animal experiment was performed with a reverberation chamber designed as a whole-body CDMA exposu...
We found no significant changes in the number of BrdU(+) cells in the SVZ or DG in the CDMA-exposed ...
Our results suggest that exposure to the CDMA signal does not affect neurogenesis in the adult rat brain, at least under our experimental conditions.
