You can then take steps to alleviate the inflammation that can contribute ... be due solely to inflammation but rather a condition called paresthesia in which nerve pathways are altered. With ...

A total of 16 different synthetic polymer particles and fibers were identified in olfactory bulbs. The olfactory pathway may ...

Researchers have identified microplastics in the human olfactory bulb, highlighting a potential pathway for these particles ...

The olfactory pathway, where neurons transmit sensory information to the brain, is another potential route for MPs to reach brain tissue. Further research is essential to understand how MPs reach ...

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 ...

The new findings raise concerns among researchers that the olfactory pathway might allow microplastics to access the brain and potentially reach brain areas beyond the olfactory bulb.

Some researchers worry the olfactory pathway may also be an entry point for microplastics getting into the brain, beyond the olfactory bulb. “Previous studies in humans and animals have shown ...
