Louisa Dalton
Summary
A brief profile describes neuropathologist Elaine Bearer's research showing that microplastics accumulate in dementia-affected brains and can be detected using fluorescence techniques, highlighting this finding as a significant step in understanding plastic particles' presence in human neurological tissue.
Body Systems
Microplastics in dementia-affected brains resisted identification until she lit them up.
