\begin{document} \begin{abstract} Electromagnetic radiation appears to have a significant impact on the neural system, especially when the telephone is widely used, yet the mechanisms underlying this effect are unclear. Based on the model proposed by a neuroscientist Wachtel Howard, We established a mathematical framework that models the process of electromagnetic energy's translation into the form of neuronal current, and found that the firing frequency of neuron was decreased by increasing electromagnetic radiation intensity, which is well consistent with experimental data. Then, we developed such a model into neural network, and found that electromagnetic radiation have much effect on the dynamic characteristics of neural network. This phenomenon shows that electromagnetic radiation may act as obstacles for cortical information processing of brain. \end{abstract} \end{document}
