For decades, scientists have tried to peer deep inside the human brain using beams of harmless near-infrared light. The technique, called functional near-infrared spectroscopy, or fNIRS, has become a ...

Experts explain the impact microplastics have on the brain and how there may be a “spoonful” in the organ. Plus, how to cut back on microplastics.

These vascular changes are especially concerning given their potential to contribute to ischemic strokes, which occur when blood flow to the brain is blocked, often by clots or narrowed vessels ...
