Plain English Summary
Researchers measured brain activity in mice while exposing them to 900 MHz radiofrequency radiation (the same frequency used by cell phones). They found that this exposure caused measurable changes in brain wave patterns in both the cortex and hippocampus - key brain regions involved in thinking and memory. The changes were most pronounced in healthy mice, suggesting that cell phone-frequency radiation can directly alter normal brain function.
Why This Matters
This study provides direct neurological evidence that cell phone frequencies can alter brain activity in real-time. What makes this research particularly compelling is that the researchers used specialized electrodes to measure brain waves during actual EMF exposure, eliminating the possibility that the effects were delayed responses. The 900 MHz frequency tested is identical to what millions of people are exposed to daily through cell phone use. The fact that healthy mice showed stronger responses than genetically impaired mice suggests that normal, functioning brains may actually be more susceptible to EMF interference. This challenges the common assumption that only 'sensitive' individuals need to be concerned about EMF exposure. The reality is that your brain's electrical activity can be measurably altered by the same frequencies your phone uses to transmit calls and data.
Exposure Information
Specific exposure levels were not quantified in this study. The study examined exposure from: 900 MHz
Study Details
Evaluation of the direct registration of brain cortical and hippocampal activity during a high-frequency electromagnetic field (HF-EMF) exposure was performed.
Experimental procedures were done under general anesthesia (urethane, 20%, 2g/kg i.p.) in Lurcher mu...
ECoG evaluation showed a distinct shift to lower frequency components but clear effect has been obse...
These findings support an idea about possible influencing the central nervous system by HF-EMF exposure and support also some recent results about possible health risks resulting from cellular phones use.
