Your brain might have a spoon-sized amount of plastic in it
Posted by ArielTechGeek 55 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
By now, you've no doubt heard that modern living is filling our bodies with microplastics. But an alarming study now shows just how much of the non-degradable particles are in our brains, and how much higher they are in dementia patients.Continue ReadingCategory: Brain Health, Body & MindTags: Microplastic, Brain, Plastics, Plastic, Plastic waste, Water Bottle, University of New Mexico
Two beers a day shrinks your brain as much as a decade of aging
Posted by ArielTechGeek 59 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
A 2022 study of more than 36,000 high-quality MRI brain scans found drinking four units of alcohol a day – two beers, or two glasses of wine – can cause structural damage and brain volume loss equivalent to 10 years of aging. The findings proved to be the tip of the iceberg for researchers looking at how alcohol affects our brain.Continue ReadingCategory: Wellness & Healthy Living, Body &
Human brain turned to glass by ash cloud from Vesuvius
Posted by ArielTechGeek 60 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Excavations have found that the brain of what seems to be a human male contained dark glass formed during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE. The effect can't be explained by lava temperatures alone, but rather a different event from the cataclysm.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Disasters, volcano, Bones, Archeology, Human, Brain
