Quantitative analysis and trends in the study of the effects of electromagnetic radiation on the nervous system from a bibliometric perspective.

With the rapid development of communication technology, the potential health risk of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) to the nervous system has aroused widespread concern. This study systematically reviews the research progress in the field of EMR-neurological interactions during 2013-2024, revealing its research hotspots and future trends. Based on WOS database, this study adopts bibliometric method combined with visualization technology for multidimensional analysis. The construction of visual maps of countries, institutions, authors, keywords and other elements is realized through CiteSpace and VOSviewer software, which systematically reveals the developmental lineage and knowledge structure of the research field. The study reveals that the field has been growing continuously, with China, Iran and the United States as the core research countries, the Chinese Academy of Military Medical Sciences and other organizations contributing prominently, and Environment International leading the list with an impact factor of 21.90. High-frequency keywords include "adolescents,"hippocampus" and "synaptic plasticity", reflecting the focus of research on neurodevelopmental and functional impairments. The study points out that although the mechanism of the neurological effects of electromagnetic radiation has been achieved, its molecular mechanisms and therapeutic interventions still need to be further explored. This study provides a systematic reference for scholars around the world, helps to promote the development of the field of neural effects of electromagnetic radiation, and provides a scientific basis for public health protection.
