Synthetic Seeds of Neurodegeneration: A Research Agenda for the Impact of Microplastics on Human Brain Health [FUTURE DIRECTIONS v1.0]
Summary
This article proposes a research agenda for studying the neurotoxicity of microplastics and nanoplastics in relation to human brain health, centered on a 'nano-barrier breach model' of how plastic particles may penetrate the blood-brain barrier. The authors argue that microplastic exposure could accelerate neurodegeneration and call for systematic research to test this hypothesis.
