Radio frequency exposure to cell phones may increase brain activity and glucose metabolism.
Scientists don’t know what it means for our health but a new National Institutes of Health study has found that hand held cell phone use stimulates brain activity.
Dr. Nora Volkow says the study shows that the human brain is sensitive to the electromagnetic radiation that is emitted from cell phones.
But the piece scientists don’t yet understand is whether this rise in brain metabolism is harmful in the long run. More research is needed to answer that question.
