Study Type		Literature Review, Letter, Book Chapt., Report
Model		900, 1800 MHz (GSM) exposure using various models and collective review of brain and central nervous system effects
Details		Summary of research on potential effects of RF fields on the brain and neurological systems. The authors reviewed >180 published studies reporting on the effects of MW exposure, with an emphasis on mobile phone signal types, on the electrophysiology, biochemistry, morphology and neuropathology of the central nervous system. The authors conclude that "Most of the reported effects are small as long as the radiation remains in the nonthermal range, and none of the research reviewed gives an indication of the mechanisms involved in this range." Further, "indirect effects" of mobile phone use, such as interference with driving a car, are more potentially serious and deserving of attention than direct biological effects on the brain.
