Microplastics were found in the olfactory bulbs of eight of 15 human brains at autopsy. A total of 16 different synthetic polymer particles and fibers were identified in olfactory bulbs. The olfactory ...

New research from an international team of scientists has demonstrated how odors evoke memories in the brain, in ways stronger than other senses. Using neuroimaging and intracranial electrophysiology, ...

A new study has presented more evidence backing up a hypothesis suggesting viral infections in the olfactory system can accelerate the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Instead of focusing on ...

It found 16 synthetic polymer particles and fibres within these brain regions. Most of the microplastics were particles, with polypropylene being the most common polymer detected. Other materials ...

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 ...

Viruses can inflame and disrupt connections between the olfactory system, which governs the sense of smell, and the part of the brain associated with memory and learning, possibly accelerating the ...
