Brain & Neurological Health

Neurotoxins damage or disrupt the nervous system. Exposure during development, in utero and early childhood, is particularly damaging, with links to lower IQ, ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, and cognitive decline later in life. This section covers findings linked to neurological harm.

[Comment] Plastics, plastic chemicals, and microplastics: multiple harms to health

Microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) are everywhere. These tiny particles, formed by abrasion, fragmentation, and open burning of plastics, are found in the ocean, the Arctic, Himalayan glaciers, air, food, and drinking water.1 More recently, they have been reported in human lung and faeces, reflecting exposures via inhalation and ingestion, as well as in blood, carotid arteries, heart, brain, liver, ovaries, testes, and placenta.2 Early clinical and epidemiological reports suggest associations b

Oral semaglutide was not efficacious in slowing clinical progression in participants with early Alzheimer's disease. Safety and tolerability of semaglutide in early Alzheimer's disease is consistent with studies in other indications.

[Comment] Learning from swine influenza, Ebola virus disease, and Legionnaires' disease in 1976

50 years ago during a US election year marked by post-Vietnam war disillusionment, post-Watergate cynicism, and bicentennial optimism, three new infectious threats stress-tested the US public health system. Throughout 1976, a series of challenges emerged: an outbreak of swine influenza A (H1N1) among US troops in New Jersey, NJ, USA; a lethal pneumonia cluster tied to the American Legion Convention in Philadelphia, PA, USA; and an unexplained haemorrhagic fever outbreak in Africa.

Depression🧠 Mental Health

Harvard scientists link gut bacteria to depression through hidden inflammation trigger

A gut bacterium may be quietly fueling depression through an unexpected chemical twist. Researchers found that when Morganella morganii interacts with a common pollutant, it produces a molecule that triggers inflammation, something strongly linked to depression. This finding helps explain how gut microbes can influence brain health at a molecular level. It also raises the possibility of new treatments that target the immune system rather than just the brain.

Fish oil may be hurting your brain, new study finds

Fish oil has long been praised as brain-boosting, but new research suggests the story may be more complicated. Scientists found that in people with repeated mild head injuries, a key omega-3 fatty acid in fish oil, EPA, may actually interfere with the brain’s ability to repair itself. Instead of helping recovery, it appears to weaken blood vessel stability, disrupt healing signals, and even contribute to harmful protein buildup linked to cognitive decline.
