Scientists found microplastics in all 52 examined human brains. Newer brain samples had more plastic than older ones.

"I have yet to encounter a single human being who says, 'There's a bunch of plastic in my brain and I'm totally cool with ...

This influx of calcium at the contact site attracts and activates a kinase called CaMKII, a protein known to be important in ...

The average amount, 4,800 micrograms per gram of microplastics in brain tissue, was found to be equivalent to the amount found in a standard plastic spoon, according to the study. MORE ...

The new research reveals a novel mechanism for signal transmission in brain cells and helps answer an open question in neuroscience about how intracellular signals travel over long distances in ...

The next big advance in treating diseases like rheumatoid arthritis could be tiny pulses of electricity delivered to the ...
