Objective To evaluate if acute cell phone exposure affects brain glucose metabolism, a marker of brain activity.
Conclusions In healthy participants and compared with no exposure, 50-minute cell phone exposure was associated with increased brain glucose metabolism in the region closest to the antenna. This finding is of unknown clinical significance.
