3、t to the antenna(天线).But whether that causes any harm is not clear, scientists at the National Institute of Health said at a conference last month, adding that the study will not likely settle concerns of a link between cell phones and brain cancer.“What we showed is glucose(葡萄糖)metabolism(代谢)(a sig
4、n of brain activity)increases in the brain in people who were exposed to a cell phone in the area closest to the antenna,"said Dr.Nora Volkow of the NIH,whose study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.(76) The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts to electromag

7、ne exposure to an increased risk of brain cancers.but a large study by the World Health Organization did not offer a clear answer to this.Volkow’s team studied 47 people who had their brain examined while a cell phone was turned on for 50 minutes and another while the phone was turned off. While the
8、re was no complete change in brain metabolism, they found a 7 percent increase in brain metabolism in the region closest to the cell phone antenna when the phone was on.(77)Experts said the results were interesting, but urged that they be understood with great care. “Although the biological signific
9、ance,if any, of increased glucose metabolism from too much cell phone exposure is unknown,the results require further investigation,” Henry Lai of the University of Washington in the U.S.and Dr.Lennart Hardell of University Hospital in Sweden,wrote in an article in JAMA.“Much has to be done to furth
