Cell phone radiations ‘excite’ brain
Yet another study on cell phone side effects - this one claims they excite parts of the brain - but can't say whether it's a good thing or a bad thing. IBN Live reports.
"A new study by Italian researcher that investigates the effects of mobile phone emissions on the motor cortex has found that electromagnetic fields generated by cell phones produce an increase in excitability within the brain's cortex.
"The study by a team of researchers led by Paolo Maria Rossini, a neurologist with the Fatebenefratelli IRCCS Research Centre of Brescia, said that further research was needed to know whether this 'excitability' was potentially dangerous or beneficial to brain functioning.
... "We still do not know whether this effect is neutral or potentially dangerous or beneficial to brain functioning," Discovery News quoted him, as saying.
