A recent study by the National Institutes of Health found a staggering amount of microplastics of recently deceased cadavers. The brains, however, were the biggest shock: They had 10 to 20 times more microplastics than the other organs studied.

Study Finds A Staggering Amount Of Plastic In Human Brains

A new study measuring microplastics in organs of the recently deceased found that about two dozen brain samples were 0.5% plastic by weight.

This seems like a new definition for neuroplasticity.

This is almost good news in a way. Maybe now we can stop making so much of it. I'm pretty dubious on general accelerationism, but this I can get behind.

Ooh, tasty!

Twenty-four of the brain samples measured were found to be about 0.5% plastic by weight.

Is that good?

Congratulations again humans.
