Human brain samples collected at autopsy in early 2024 contained more tiny shards of plastic than samples collected eight years prior, according to a preprint posted online in May. A preprint is a ...
In the end, there’s no ethical justification for selective hype by journals or for the lack of skepticism among journalists ...
Ubiquitous and almost invisible, the tiny shards of plastic that are entering the human body through the food we eat could be damaging our brains in multiple ways, experts fear.A team of scientists ...
Scientists are examining the effect on brain health of microplastics and one of the largest sources of microplastics: ultra-processed foods. Earlier this year, scientists discovered that there is ...
Plastic is everywhere, including in our brains. According to a preprint in the National Library of Medicine, samples from human brains collected in 2024 contain 50% more plastic than samples collected ...
When a CBS News medical correspondent claimed recently that we’re accumulating a plastic spoon’s worth of plastic in our brains, her colleagues looked horrified, and for good reason. Surely, that much ...
A single microscopic change in our DNA can permanently alter how the brain is built, locking in developmental problems that ...
A plastic spoon’s worth of plastic is inside your brain: “Research reveals that human brains contain approximately a spoon's worth of microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs), with levels 3-5 times ...
You now know your brain is plastic and can be influenced by many variables. Dr. Michael Merzenich, often called the Father of Modern Neuroplasticity, outlines the necessary conditions needed for your ...
When a CBS News medical correspondent claimed recently that we’re accumulating a plastic spoon’s worth of plastic in our brains, her colleagues looked horrified, and for good reason. Surely, that much ...
Earlier this year, scientists discovered that there is about as much microplastics in the brain as a whole plastic spoon. The paper, published in Nature Medicine in February, revealed that the amount ...
