ID Number		1863
Study Type		Human / Provocation
Model		900 MHz (GSM) to hypersensitive individuals and analysis of hypersensitivity, perception, and effects on motor skills
Details		Volunteers (15 self reported hypersensitive and 15 non-hypersensitive) were placed in an MRI machine and monitored functional activation of the brain. The subjects were never exposed to RF, but evaluated alone or with a sham mobile phone (that they were told was transmitting). During sham exposure, increased activation was observed in the cigulate, insular cortex, and fusiform gyrus in hypersensitive but not non-hypersensitive subjects. During anticipation (prior to being told of actual expsure), hypersensitive subjects also showed functional activation in the right fusiform gyrus, inferior and middle teporal gyrus, and cerebellum that were not seen in non-hypersensitive subjects. Heat controls lead to similar functional activation in both hypersensitive and non-hypersensitive individuals.
