Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed pregnant mice to mobile phone radiation and examined whether it affected brain cell development in their offspring, specifically counting pyramidal cells in the hippocampus (a brain region crucial for memory and learning). They found no significant difference in brain cell numbers between exposed and unexposed mouse pups. While this suggests no developmental harm at the exposure levels tested, the researchers noted that more studies are needed given widespread mobile phone use around pregnant women.
