Cell Phones and the Motor Cortex of the Brain
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 cell phones.
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 epilepsy.
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 brain tumor.
Quantum physics talks about the butterfly effect, 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?
