Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed pregnant mice to mobile phone radiation throughout pregnancy and then examined brain cell counts in their offspring's hippocampus (the brain region crucial for memory and learning). They found no significant difference in the number of pyramidal cells between exposed and unexposed offspring. However, the study lacked important details about exposure levels and duration, making it difficult to assess how these findings relate to human mobile phone use.
Study Details
The present study investigated the effect of exposure to mobile phone on developing hippocampus.
Male and female Swiss albino mice were housed as control and mobile phone exposed groups. The pregna...

It was concluded that further study is needed in this field due to popular use of mobile telephones and relatively high exposure to the developing brain.
