RADIATION FROM 6G CAN INCREASE BRAIN CELL SIZE- STUDY

Mon 22 August 2022:

The world has been anticipating 6G technology, but according to Chinese scientists, it may have an adverse effect on our brain cells. The terahertz band of radio waves, which can boost any smartphone’s bandwidth to 1 terabit per second, boosted brain cell growth in lab rats. When exposed to radiation, the neurons increased by approximately 150%.

While the observation initially confused the researchers, it was concluded that although the brain cells were increased at a rapid speed, they were able to remain healthy. As a result, the scientists will be studying them further to develop “therapies in order to treat brain diseases, the study said.

“The safety of terahertz radiation protocol is a top concern,” Li Xiaoli, the lead scientist of the study wrote in a paper published in the peer-reviewed journal Acta Physica Sinica.

The study was supported by the State Key Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience and Learning at Beijing Normal University, and they have decided to continue it for better understanding.

“Abnormal neuron development and the resulting abnormal neural network structure can lead to the occurrence of various psychiatric and neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, autism and Parkinson’s disease,” the institution told South China Morning Post.

According to the paper, exposed brain cells will stop growing beyond a certain threshold, which is currently thought to be two days. Professor Liu Jianxin of the Institute of Brain Science at Xian Jiaotong University in Shaanxi province discovered some beneficial impacts of 6G radio waves as well.
