Low power electromagnetic elds (EMF) are suspected to produce biological e ects in the nervous system. The study of AL Mausset et al. (December 2004) showed an increase of a speci c marker of glial cells, the GFAP (Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein), in striatum, hippocampus and cortex, 72 hours after a 15 min exposure to GSM-type radiation at a local SAR of 6 W/kg (head). This study is con rmed by Brillaud et al (2007)
