Microplastics can also cause functional irregularities in the brain, but exactly how they exert neurotoxic effects remains unclear. “Understanding the presence and the state of microplastics in the ...

This study aggregates across five fMRI datasets and reports that a network of brain areas previously associated with response inhibition processes, including several in the basal ganglia, are more ...

The current stimulates the surface of the brain’s frontal lobe, which is the part of your brain that controls your reasoning skills and social understanding. “Something is going on that’s ...
