Reuters reported in June ‘06 that Dr. Paolo Rossini of Fatebenefratelli hospital in Milan and colleagues used Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation or TMS to check brain function while people used .

They found that the motor cortex (part of the brain) next to the area where the phone is showed excitability that lasted for about 1 hour until it subsided. Excitable means “it can cause a muscle twitch”.

The researchers say “this does not mean that using a cell phone is bad for the brain in any way”, but obviously they are not so sure about people with certain conditions, like .

Let me ask you:
Is it possible that it affects all of use, some people, might have a “visible” reaction to it, for all the others it just increases their stress level and depletes their energy until it is just too much and something else triggers a visible result, maybe even a .

Quantum physics talks about the , how a butterfly in New Zealand can be the “last drop” that’s needed to create a hurricane in Mexico. Isn’t it time all scientists all sit together?
