Cell Phones Excite People … Or At Least Their Brains

There have been many studies about the effects of cellular phone use on humans. Unfortunately, for as many that say there is no effect on humans, you could, if you tried, find an equal number that say there is an effect. Today Italian researchers added another study to the long list of research, with a study published in the Annals of Neurology.
Dr. Paolo Rossini of Fatebenefratelli hospital in Milan and colleagues used Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation or TMS to check brain function while people used these phones.
They had 15 young male volunteers use a GSM 900 cell phone for 45 minutes. In 12 of the 15, the cells in the motor cortex adjacent to the cell phone showed excitability during phone use but returned to normal within an hour. Source: Reuters
We Say: The researchers were clear that “excitement” does not necessarily mean harm. On the other hand, it doesn’t mean “no harm” either. I wish one of these studies (maybe there’s one I haven’t seen) would test the effects of a Bluetooth headset on your brain, since that’s what I use, all the time, with my Pocket PC phone.

Norm Stoehr says:
This is strictly anecdotal, but I use Bluetooth headsets virtually all the time I’m on my cell phone, and have experienced occasions when I have become lightheaded to the brink of passing out, and became extremely anxious about it. Each time I ended the conversation, normalcy returned. All occasions happened while driving.
