Tiny Trouble: What Microplastics in the Brain Could Mean for Our Minds

We’ve all heard about microplastics in our oceans, our food, even our bottled water. But now researchers are finding these tiny particles in a far more surprising place: the human brain. And while that might sound like the start of a sci-fi movie, it’s very real—and very worth paying attention to, especially as we age.

Early studies suggest a potential link between microplastics and cognitive changes, including memory issues and dementia. While science is still catching up to the full picture, one thing is clear: this is something to keep an eye on. After all, we’ve spent a lifetime taking care of others—now it’s time to keep our own brilliant minds in the best shape possible.
