Experts have revealed some disturbing news about human brains. Find out the details.
Neuroscience experts say that there are more and more pieces of nanoplastics found in brains. Doctors also revealed that this study was already done 8 years ago and that the amount of plastic found was nothing compared to what was found recently.
Experts confirmed that the main way these plastics can enter the brain is through diet or also when driving, when people drive on the highway and their tires wear down against the road surface, a certain amount of microplastic particles are released into the air.

A study revealed traces of microplastic in the human brain
To conduct the study, researchers They examined brain, kidney and liver tissues of 92 people who underwent a forensic autopsy to verify the cause of death in 2016 and 2024. Brain tissue samples were collected from the frontal cortex, the area of the brain associated with thinking and reasoning, and which is most affected by frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and later stages of Alzheimer’s disease.
The brain samples contained between 7% and 30% more tiny plastic fragments that samples of kidneys and liver from the cadavers, according to the preprint.
Experts say nanoplastics are the plastics of greatest concern to human health because the tiny pieces can become embedded within individual cells.
