High air pollution exposure in 1-year-olds linked to structural brain changes at age 12
CINCINNATI — A new study suggests that significant early childhood exposure to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) is associated with structural changes in the brain at the age of 12. The Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center study found that children with…

Mosquitoes are drawn to flowers as much as people — and now scientists know why
Without their keen sense of smell, mosquitoes wouldn’t get very far. They rely on this sense to find a host to bite and spots to lay eggs. And without that sense of smell, mosquitoes could not locate their dominant source…
Treatment for depression must also restore proper functioning of the blood-brain barrier
Quebec City, January 20, 2020–To better treat people with depression, not only must we treat the neurons affected by the disease, but we must also restore the integrity of the barrier that regulates exchanges between blood circulation and the brain.…
