Microplastics have been found in our lungs, guts, and even our blood. Now, researchers say they may reduce protective enzymes and proteins that keep neurons strong. Stacey Leasca is an award-winning ...

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 ...

For the first time, scientists have used real-time imaging to track tiny pieces of microplastics as they moved through the brain blood vessels of mice. In experiments, the international team of ...

The field of functional neuroimaging has advanced rapidly over recent years, offering unprecedented insights into the dynamic interplay between distinct brain regions. Techniques such as functional ...
