Brain samples contained 10 times more microplastics than other organs. The brain may contain higher -- and more significant -- amounts of microplastics than other organs in the body, according to ...

Newly discovered brain cells count each bite before sending the order to cease eating a meal. Columbia scientists have found specialized neurons in the brains of mice that order the animals to ...

Cognitively normal human brain samples collected at autopsy in early 2024 contained more tiny shards of plastic than samples collected eight years prior, according to a new study. Overall ...
