Cellphones Affect Blood Flow in the Brain

Aalto, et al., have found that the electromagnetic field created around cellphones in use affects blood flow in the brain. Blood flow decreases under the antenna--the inferior temporal cortex in their subjects--and increases in the prefrontal cortex. Not enough is known about how the brain works to say if this is good or bad; it simply is.

Adele,

Interesting stuff, I don't have a cell phone myself, I don't like them, they are too often a pest.

Thanks for the info.

katyzzz,

Thanks for commenting. You always have something interesting to say. Cellphones do get in the way of life sometimes.

Wow, i didn't know that. Before there were claims that cellphones can cause cancer although i'm not sure if that claim was supported. My husband and I both have cellphones but we rarely use it, it's just for emergencies. By the way, thanks for visting my blog. Have a great weekend!

It's always scary reading the possible side-effects of mobile phone use, especially when they are so common these days.

Hope,

I read somewhere that a recent study had disproven the link between cellphones and cancer. I'll try to dig that up and see if that's what it really said.

Scarlett,

I agree. There's so much we don't about how technology affects us.
