+thexfile Subscriber² Posted September 17, 2024 Subscriber² Share Posted September 17, 2024 Scientists in Brazil found microplastics in the brain tissue of cadavers, according to a new study published Monday in the journal JAMA Network Open. Mounting research over the last few years has found microplastics in nearly every organ in the body, as well as in the bloodstream and in plaque that clogs arteries. Whether these ubiquitous pollutants can reach the human brain has been a primary concern for scientists. The latest research looked at a part of the brain called the olfactory bulb, which processes information about smell. Humans have two olfactory bulbs, one above each nasal cavity. Connecting the olfactory bulb and the nasal cavity is the olfactory nerve. https://www.yahoo.com/news/microplastics-found-human-brain-151954049.html bguy_1986, +primortal and WITHOUT-ME 2 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1446360-microplastics-found-in-the-human-brain/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
