A study at Yale revealed more effects on cellphone radiation. The main subject of the research was based on offsprings of pregnant mice. The purpose of the research was to determined whether exposure to radiation would cause developmental disabilities including ADHD.

A silenced cellphone in active call mode was placed on top of a cage of pregnant mice. An inactive cellphone was placed on top of another cage of pregnant mice to act as a control. The mice in both cages had babies, which were allowed to mature. Then researchers conducted a variety of tests to measure brain activity on the adult mice who had been exposed to radiation as fetuses. The tests showed that the mice had lower memory capacity and were more hyperactive than the control group. The areas of the brain that control these functions were impacted by the radiation, say the researchers. They concluded that cellphone radiation negatively impacted brain development of offspring, and could potentially cause developmental disabilities including ADHD.

Dr. Hugh S. Taylor, chief of the Dvision of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at Yale Medical School said,

“We have shown that behavioral problems in mice that resemble ADHD are caused by cell phone exposure in the womb,” Taylor told Science Daily. “The rise in behavioral disorders in human children may be in part due to fetal cellular telephone irradiation exposure.”

However, mouses experienced a much shorter pregnancy process(only 19 days comparing to 10 months), their brains are also not as sophisticated comparing to us. This is one of the first studies performed on cellphone radiation effects on the offspring, and many more studies are in progress in this field.

I wonder how many people sleep with their cellphones next to them? In that case..I guess a lot of our offsprings are going to have ADHD…
