A new study finds that microplastics and nanoplastics accumulate at higher levels in the brain than in the liver and kidney.

A new study shows that microplastics have crossed the blood-brain barrier -- and that their numbers are rising. A new study ...

In 2019 a startling article was published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Researchers tracked brain changes in nine polar scientists after 14 months isolated at a remote station in Antarctica.

Each octopus arm has a massive nervous system, with more neurons combined across the eight arms than in the animal's brain. These neurons are concentrated in a large axial nerve cord (ANC), which ...

The fine control these almost-alien animals have over each of their eight arms is at least partially down to the segmentation of the nervous system circuitry that governs it. This discovery by ...
