Cell Phones Induce Memory-Related Brain Damage

A new rat study shows that two hours per week of cell phone exposure¹ for one year resulted in diminished interest and impaired memory function.

The researchers found that a single two hour exposure period increased permeability of the blood brain barrier, allowing substances into the brain that should not get in. Signs of brain damage began showing up 4-8 weeks after the exposure, indicating that damage is cumulative over time.
