Background and aim: Invention of wireless communication in 20th century has changed human social behavior. Advances in this technology has made life easier, while widespread use of electromagnetic waves in base stations, mobile and cordless phones has caused different neurological symptoms in consumers. Hence, widespread trials are conducted to study the effect of these waves on biologic and physiologic processes of the brain.
Methods: The current review has categorized findings at different studies, focusing on the effects of mobile phone electromagnetic waves on the brain.
Results: Findings from 94 papers have reaffirmed the side effects of mobile phone radiation with variety of frequencies and power densities on different parts of the brain.
Conclusion: With rapid increase in number of mobile phones users, and particularly juvenile population, safety standards determined by world commissions are not longer valid for depicting the influence of mobile phone electromagnetic waves on brain as now observed in many studies. Thus, further investigations on side effects of mobile phone radiation are deemed.
