Effects of electromagnetic radiation of mobile phones on the central nervous system review

Endpoint

• genotoxicity/mutation: gene responses and DNA damage in the brain
• effects on the neurological system: neuronal electrical activity, EEG, energy metabolism, neurotransmitter balance, blood-brain barrier permeability, cognitive function, various brain diseases, brain tumors
• sleep: sleeping profile
• epidemiology: neurological diseases (see "effects on the neurological system")
• implants/medical devices: interference with cardiac pacemakers
• guidelines/safety: indirect effects (traffic accidents and aircraft control)
