Microplastics block blood flow in the brain, mouse study reveals
RePEc: Research Papers in Economics

Summary
A mouse study using real-time imaging found that cells stuffed with microplastics can form clumps that block blood flow in the brain, affecting the animals' ability to move. This research raises concerns about potential neurological effects of microplastic accumulation in the bodies of mammals.
Real-time imaging shows how plastic-stuffed cells form clumps that affect mouse movement.
