Microplastics In Mind: Scientists Discover Plastic Particles In Human Brains
Tiny shards of plastic called microplastics have been detected accumulating in human brains, but there is not yet enough evidence to say whether this is doing us harm, experts have said.

Microplastics Found in Human Brain Tissue, Study Shows Rising Levels
A study has detected microplastics and nanoplastics in human brain tissue, showing a 50 percent increase in levels over recent years. The findings suggest these particles may bypass the blood-brain barrier, leading to concerns over potential health effects. Experts are now focusing on how these plastics enter the brain and their possible role in ne...

Sound waves to treat brain diseases
Sound waves could play a key role in helping to get drugs into the brain. Scientists have developed a method to open the blood-brain barrier temporarily to allow the entry of drugs and gene therapy to different specific brain areas.
