In what debunks the claims of those who believe cell phones do not affect your brain at all, a study, by researchers from Fatebenefratelli Hospital in Isola Tiberina, Italy, has found that certain brain cells get excited by the electromagnetic field (EMF) created by mobiles.

Using a cell phone is not innocuous. It has an effect on your brain. Whether that's good or bad, we don't yet know, but it's definitely having an effect. The effects are clear. The increase in excitability is clear and lasts for about an hour. Is that effect harmful or beneficial? I don't know

Overall the evidence for (EMF) effects on cognitive functions in humans is inconsistent and inconclusive…Biological evidence suggests that (EMF) do not cause mutation or initiate or promote tumor formation
As with most news articles about research, this one is doesn't mention methodology: nowhere to find what constitutes "use" of mobile. I suspect hands-free devices and latest generation phones affect brain cells quite differently than 'typical' mobile phones.
