Italian researchers found in the current study that mobile phones excite the neurons of the area of the brain closest to the phone when used for 45 minutes or more. However this effect is very temporary and corrects itself an hour later, the report said.

But the Italian researchers said it was too early to guess the effects of the excitement caused by mobile phones.
