13、 raised by these experiments are answered that we'll be able to say for sure what mobile phones might be doing to the head.4 One of the odd *esfrom the now famous "memoryloss" study. Alan Preece and his colleagues at the University of Bristol placed a device that imitated the microwave

14、 emissions of mobile phones to the left ear of volunteers.

Preece says he still can't comment on the effects of using a mobile phone for years on en

15、d. But he rules out the suggestion that mobile phones have an immediate effect on our cognitive abilities."I'm pretty sure there is no effect on short-term memory," he says.5 Anotherexpert, Tattersall, remarked that his latest findingshave removed fears about memoryloss. One result, fo

16、rinstance, suggests that nerve cellsynapses (突触 ) exposed to microwaves become more - rather than less - receptive (感受的 ) to undergoing changes linked to memory formation.6 Hopefully, microwaves might turn out to be good for you.
